Growing up beneath the soaring peaks of the Pyrenees, Jean-Philippe Soulé has dedicated his life to leading expeditions and guiding across the far-flung globe.
After numerous mountain, jungle, ocean and cultural expeditions, he lived in the jungle of Siberut for seven months among the Mentawai, an indigenous clan of hunter-gatherers. This time inspired him to map out a three-and-a-half-year sea kayaking adventure. His journey would cover 3000 miles through seven countries, following the flow of the Atlantic and Pacific Coastlines that cut through Central America, leading him and his expedition partner to live and document the culture of Latin America’s Indigenous people.
CASKE2000 was an undertaking that had never before been attempted. It’s an achievement that remains intact to this very day, and the bar was set for all adventurers that would follow.
From storms at sea to armed bandit encounters, shark attacks and bouts of malaria – nothing could stop Jean-Philippe’s determination to conquer this journey.
This intrepid adventure caught the world’s attention and was featured in numerous media outlets across North America and beyond. Jean-Philippe’s photographs were published by National Geographic, the United Nations and numerous publications across the globe.
Jean-Philippe’s gripping account of his epic expedition all the way from Baja California to Panama, is now available in his inspiring 2019 published memoir titled “Dancing With Death”.
Dancing With Death will take you on the ride of a lifetime. A rollercoaster of resilience, rare encounters, and moments that will leave you on the edge of your seat; it’s a fascinating account of adventure, passion, and an insight into Jean-Philippe’s very own life.
