Raphaël has always been a nature passionate. He is interested in all living organisms from mushrooms to mammals but his main field of interest are vertebrates (birds, mammals, reptilians and amphibians). Graduate in hydrobiology, he has always been involved in naturalist associations either as volunteer or employee.
Since 1997, Raphaël has been taken part in several scientific or adventure expeditions in the Polar Regions (Siberia, Greenland, Canada and Svalbard), the steppes of Kazakhstan and Morocco and the Peruvian jungle. In 2003, he carried out an old dream: cycling through Latin America for 20 months.
Raphaël first came on board a cruise ship as lecturer in 2000. Since then, he has been embarking either as naturalist guide or expedition leader on many destinations (the Arctic, Antarctica, and the tropics). When he is not navigating, Raphaël carries out personal projects (field assistant for nature conservation projects, photography, edition, journeys, etc.) or just enjoy life at home in Provence.
