Travel Guide

Biography

After graduating from Cégep St-Laurent with a degree in adventure tourism in 2003, I divide my time between my three passions: my family, my work as a guide, and adventures in the Far North. I’m fortunate to live amid the magnificent landscapes of the Gaspé Peninsula, to travel to the most incredible corners of Europe, and to have made eye contact with polar bears. I love people, and that’s what I enjoy most about being a tour guide: sharing, exchanging ideas, and learning from one another about the places and cultures of the different destinations we visit. For me, biking and skiing are the two best ways to travel and discover a region, because they allow you to experience adventure on a human scale, at a pace that makes it easy to meet people and connect with them.

The earth teaches us more about ourselves than all the books in the world. Because it resists us. A person discovers who they are when they face a challenge.
- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
