Moufid Tleb - Explorer
His story
I am Moufid Taleb, I was born on 1 May 1993. In 2019, I decided to change my life to become an explorer. Having always wanted to escape the normal routine and get closer to nature, I was not unhappy, but something important was missing. As I became interested in the polar worlds and the tales of the pioneers of exploration, I realised that these heroes had experienced everything I felt I was missing. Such adventures and such intense emotions! It was by living this way that I could feel alive, in my place on Earth, and thrive without ever being bored! Like me, they had two arms, two legs, and a head full of dreams. So let’s get to work!.”
His journey
At the end of 2019, without any real knowledge and without a penny, I decided to cross Greenland alone and without assistance. From then on, I began to train, find partners and accumulate a great deal of knowledge. I ended up being a winner of the Adventure Scholarships 2020, by the European Raid Guild, and find many partners, of which Lyophilise & Co is the first. That year, I went to Svalbard, then I kayaked down the Seine without having paddled before. The following winter, I trained in the Alps, then crossed the Sarek alone, in Swedish Lapland, in difficult conditions. The current global health situation has forced me to postpone my crossing of Greenland until 2022, but I also have other expeditions already scheduled before then.
In September, I will do a little bike expedition, before crossing the Hardangervidda in winter 2022, just before Greenland. Next? We will see, I don’t want for imagination!
