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 job as a guide, and adventures in the Far North. I am fortunate to live in the heart of the magnificent landscapes of the Gaspé Peninsula, to travel to the most incredible corners of Europe, and to have come face to face with polar bears. I love people, and that's what I enjoy most about being a guide. Sharing, exchanging, and learning from each other about the places and cultures we visit. For me, cycling and skiing are the two best ways to travel and discover a region, because they allow you to experience adventure at a human pace, at a pace that facilitates encounters and exchanges.

The earth teaches us more about ourselves than any book ever could. Because it resists us. Man discovers himself when he measures himself against obstacles.
- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
