Sebastien attributes his nomadic nature to his father who instilled within him everything he knows about traveling, not by telling him but by simply taking his son along with him on many trips. Never one to follow a guidebook, his father taught him that the best way to experience travel is through the people you meet along the way.
Coming from a multicultural background set the stage early on in life for Sebastien to become culturally malleable allowing him to easily integrate into foreign cultures. Being welcomed into different societies is the "thrill factor" which he both constantly seeks and also portrays in his work, especially through video.
Sebastien's work is a reflection of who he is when he travels and the experiences he creates with the people he encounters. His ability to get to know people and cultures very quickly has opened the doors for his work to touch beyond the surface of travel documentaries and into the source of the cultures themselves.
In addition to filming, Sebastien is a writer and lead editor for UpTake's Beach Blog and Colliding Continents. Colliding Continents, is dedicated to encouraging responsible travel through personal experiences, highlighting the latest developments in the travel industry and promoting cultural immersion as a fulfilling way to travel. It was selected as the winner of Bombay Sapphire's Spirit of Exploration competition.
Travel Insights 100 is a community of 100 travel experts online. As a member of this community, Sebastien contributes his time to providing his thoughts and perspectives on areas of study ranging from travel industry developments to the use of Web 2.0 within the online 'travelscape.'
To say that he is obsessed with adventuring is an understatement; he was born into it and naturally, his life centers around traveling. It is the source of who he is.
