CURRENT MISSION

Exploring remote wilderness areas of the world

ABOUT ME

I grew up in France, in the mountains, between Alpes and Provence. I went to college in Grenoble and Nice. Lived in Paris for a few months. Then I travelled a lot of places, most of the time finding a job there to experience it from the inside. I have lived in Iceland, Svalbard (Spitzbergen), Colorado, Alaska, Mauritania (Sahara), Iceland again for 6 years, and now Flagstaff... I also stayed for several weeks in Australia, New-Zealand, Hawaii and Western States I am not a city person, I really need fresh air and nature and wilderness around me, mountains preferred!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to waste time. Live your dreams, don't get stuck in a routine or habits. Step in the unknown to discover yourself.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Besides sea-kayaking in Svalbard, handling dogs in Alaska, bicycling from Alaska to Colorado, and surviving a 5 months experience in Mauritania, I am amazed by diversity and wonders on the planet as well as terrifyed by how it has turned bad in many ways, the power of media and lack of criticism of the mass...
