Jean-Philippe Soulé

A passion for people, travel, cultures, mountains and cycling

"I particularly love riding in rural France: the low-traffic, winding roads, charming medieval villages and lofty mountains create endless cycling possibilities. Place after place has a unique landscape, character and culture and the locals are genuinely friendly, down-to-earth people. It's my land and I love to share it!"

Jean-Philippe is always delighted to share both his unquenchable passion for life and his expertise as a leader of expeditions to remote areas of our planet. French by birth, he served in a commando unit in both mountain rescue and as an Alps mountain guide before leaving France to work in the US and then explore the distant corners of Asia and Latin America. His attachment to the indigenous peoples he found there inspired him to found Native Planet (NP), an NGO dedicated to their welfare, and the Native Planet Outdoor Club, its fund-raising arm.

Also a professional travel photographer who sells his images to National Geographic, the United Nations and other major publishers, Jean-Philippe works as a guide and consultant to makers of documentary films about traditional indigenous peoples.
