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 lucky enough to live amidst 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 together about the places and cultures of the different destinations we visit. For me, cycling and skiing are the two best ways to travel and discover a region, as they allow you to experience adventure on a human scale, at a pace that fosters connections and exchanges.

The earth teaches us more about ourselves than any book ever could. Because it resists us. A person discovers themselves when they face a challenge.
- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
