What national park do you dream of visiting?

I dream of crossing the Torngate Mountains to connect with this wild land and document, in an adventure film, its biodiversity and the way indigenous peoples preserve it.

What has been your favorite adventure experience?

The expeditions on the several wild rivers allowed me to mastering canot with dexterity, while taking data for the conservation of the rivers. But Cycling bikepacking through Quebec for 30 days on forest and mountain trails, with the disease I have, was the most powerful and transformative experience, to Show that despite illness and adversity, big adventures can be archieved ! I'm proud of it.

What would you do with $10,000?

Being in professional retraining after a difficult sick leave, I intend to use this $10,000 would use this money to carry out an incredibly human project: that of travelling through several national parks and wilderness areas to meet the people who live there and document their way of healing themselves through nature and the outdoors. As someone who suffers from a tenacious autoimmune disease, nature and the outdoors expeditions, are one of my greatest medecine. I want to encourage well-being.
