I was born in France, but due to my parent's extravagant work (Glaciologist) I have traveled extensively. After a childhood spend in the coldest part of the globe, I came back to France to study hydrology. My passion for river and wild places ( One of the best Whitewater kayaker in the world, won some of the hardest international race, explored and did first descents in 15 different countries) lead me to realized how volatile our planet is. I now split my time between Colombia and Canada, where i organize tours for adventurous tourist, However, my main dedication is protecting rivers. I paddle them, study them, take photographe, videos, write articles, simply talk to people... I'll do whatever it takes to protect the free flowing water of this world. I'm an independent worker because it give me the freedom to put my energy where I feel it's truly needed.
The Sacred headwater are located on the Stikine river area, in northern BC. In the past years, this region has been subject to abusive mining and hydropower development. Due to the special connection with this place, the Mountain mind collective and myself have dedicated extensive amount of time in documenting the place in order to raise awareness on the issue this unique place is facing.

During spring 2013, an international team of explorer took on a bold mission in the heart of the Coast moutains, BC. They paddle the Homathko river source to Sea, stopping half way to Summit Mount Waddington, highest moutain in british Colombia. I was part of the team and documented the whole expedition.
