Life is short, cram it.
I paddled a wooden canoe for 7 days down the remote Amazon River in Peru and didn't get eaten by a caiman or piranha. Lots of bug bites.
I believe it's an addiction to type 2 fun. It's my 8th Rebelle, and it's always exciting and terrifying to meet who I will be on the other side of it. It reveals all the good, bad, ugly and beautiful so it's not for the faint of heart and can be transformative. Or it can also just be a sufferfest that you survive and live to laugh about later. I'm up for all of it.
Fear is the best inspiration for me. If I'm afraid of it or it intimidates me, I want to figure it out and try to face it. It's been the motivator of much growth and adventure.
Guidebooks for whatever country I’m about to visit. I have shelves and shelves of them.

If it were easy, everyone would do it.
I first participated in the Dakar Rally in 2003 with no driving experience, no dune driving skills, or navigation knowledge. I felt like a baby learning to walk, falling down, getting back up, and continuing until I fell less often. Surprisingly, my teammate and I, despite our inexperience, drove day and night and finished after three weeks of racing. I have since competed in the Dakar Rally 7 more times.
After participating in the Rebelle Rally in 2017, I transitioned to the organizational side. Every day, I witnessed competitors who inspired me, and it reignited my desire to compete again.
What inspires me most is creativity, the ability to turn abstract ideas into something real. It shows me that possibilities are endless, fueling my passion for learning and creating.
Two of my favorites are French books:
• Le roi, le sage et le bouffon by Shafique Keshavjee
• Dans les forêts de Sibérie by Sylvain Tesson
The most beautiful adventure is always the one of the moment.
