1. Why did you become an instructor ? As a child I was lucky enough to be active in many sports. One of my first jobs was a high board and springboard diving coach. Then trampoline and gymnastics as I began to coach at a higher level. Whilst at University I had no idea I would end up coaching in the future as I was studying to join the real world. Then after university came my snowboarding and kite surfing instructor qualifications to help pay my way around the world. In the end I realised that my life was pretty fulfilled teaching sport and living in Croatia and Bulgaria. 2. Why makes your job so exceptional ? I think every instructor will agree that you get a huge amount of pleasure and satisfaction watching people achieve their goals in learning these amazing activities. 3. What is the most memorable expedition you took part of ? It has to be sailing the Atlantic to deliver a yacht to Annapolis. Then kiting in the American Virgin Islands before delivering another yacht back to France via the Azores. 4. What is your favorite meal (the one you want to have when you come home from an expedition?) Had to be Asian cuisine. 5. What inspires you the most in life? I'm totally inspired by people who manage to dedicate their life to protecting the environment and human rights. Doctors and nurses working in war torn countries are high on the list. 6. If you were an animal, which one would you be ? If I could be any animal it would have to be a Lion, but I think a domesticated cat loves an easier life :)
