Christian Pelletier
Christian got the overlanding bug back in the 1990s when working in and exploring West Africa, and it never left him since. He has been involved with Expedition Portal and Overland Journal since the early days and has seen the market grow and explode in the last few years. When he is not busy exploring a remote corner of the planet, you can find somewhere around Lake Tahoe biking or snowboarding.
