\"OLYMPUS<\/span><\/span><\/a>I have been involved in adventures for around 8 years now, beginning with a trek across the Sinai desert which was an eye-opening experience, and led to a taste for adventure which is hard to quell. Each year I think of a host of adventures until a suitable option arises and then pursue it rigorously. My travels have mainly been in Europe, with my longest expeditions in Scandinavia teaching me a great deal and providing the experience necessary for the bigger trips.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

After studying Anthropology at Roehampton University, London, I set my sights on large expeditions in distant lands – and ended up in Canada.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I now live in Jasper, the heart of Jasper National Park in Alberta, Canada, which provides no end of adventure for those so inclined; hiking, mountain climbing, snow-shoeing, canoeing, and even a little snowboarding for the change of pace and scene. Living in Jasper National Park is a great experience and the vast expanse of mountainous wilderness allows me to practice those skills I value the most; Bushcraft. Outdoors-men such as Mors Kochanski, Nessmuk, Ray Mears and Bill Mason provide guides for the knowledge required in this environment, and the likes of David Thompson and Sir Alexander Mackenzie and their tales of exploration in this area and on these very rivers stimulate my appetite for adventure!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Je suis dans le monde d’aventure depuis maintenant 8 ans. Tout a commencé par une randonnée pédestre dans le désert de Sinaï  qui  fut une expérience qui m’a ouvert les yeux et m’a donné un goût d’aventure dure à refouler.  Chaque année depuis, je pense à plusieurs aventures possibles de faire jusqu’à ce qu’une option appropriée s’offre à moi et que je poursuivrai avec acharnement. Mes voyages ont été principalement en Europe, avec ma plus longue expédition (5 semaines) en Scandinavie qui m’a appris beaucoup et procurée l’expérience nécessaire pour entreprendre de plus gros voyages.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Après avoir étudié l’Anthropologie à l’Université Roechampton, London, j’ai posé mon regard sur des contrées lointaines qui seraient appropriées pour de longues expéditions – ce qui m’a amené au Canada.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

J’habite maintenant à Jasper, au cœur du Parc National de Jasper, en Alberta, Canada. Ce parc offre de multitudes activités à ceux qui le veulent bien: randonnée pédestre, escalade de montagne, canot, raquette à neige et même un peu de planche à neige pour faire changement. Vivre dans le Parc National de Jasper est une grande expérience et le vaste terrain montagneux sauvage me permet de pratiquer les savoir-faire que je vénère le plus : le bushcraft (l’art ou le métier de la brousse), la vie sauvage et la survie en forêt. De grands hommes de plein air tels que Mors Kochanski, Nessmuk, Ray Mears et Bill Mason me servent de guide pour apprendre les connaissances requises dans un tel environnement alors que David Thompson et Sir Alexander Mackenzie avec leurs histoires d’exploration dans cette même région, dans ces mêmes rivières stimulent mon appétit pour l’aventure!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
