Osez ! | Stephane Levin | TEDxToulouse

Stephane is a one of its kind explorator, one of the few remaining today, member of the French Society of Explorators. His explorations are as much geographic as technical, scientific and he puts himself, his body and his skills to the service of research, in a world afraid of risks and progress.

Travel More


We live in a world of consumption. Before you buy your next item for your «man cave» or «she shed,» think again. Adventure and exploration is the best way to learn and expand your horizons. The idea here is simple and enlightening, that one should have a passport full of stamps rather than a house full of stuff. Travel more. Buy less. #GO
