CURRENT MISSION

To continue reporting on extreme experiences and situations with images and writings (Iraq, political opposition, mountaineering, ice climbing in Iceland...). An example: https://youtu.be/3oQF2Z2N9lY

ABOUT ME

Freelance reporter (see LuxAltius.com or @LuxAltius on Instagram) focused on challenging areas (Iraq), mountainous regions and anything worth an eye and a story. Former athlete myself (British team of Ski-mountaineering), I tend to associate my own adventures to geopolitical analysis. My recent moviemaking business is a way to blend in my own singer past with my passion for photography (twice PhotoSuisse awarded) and writing.
Either not standing in place, either craving for some Eden...
Very smiley, talkative, open.

PHILOSOPHY

Not rather personal: would be to help others in whatever they need, as long as it is part of some true project or strong desire. Dislikes errance without any aim unless errance is a desire in itself...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It appeared rather logical to me.
My way of travelling, my way of giving tit for tat.
