I have been a rafting and packrafting guide for many years (Moniteur FBPR - Fédération Belge de PackRafting). I have traveled rivers in Europe and all over the world. I like to share my passion for whitewater sports and to discover the joys and the feeling of freedom linked to packrafting.

I organize discovery days in Belgium and packrafting courses in France and Canada. If you want to participate in one of our trekking and packrafting adventures, do not hesitate to contact me. I will be happy to answer you and share my passion with you.
