Remi CAMUS

Aventurier et explorateur français

Biography

Rémi Camus is a French adventurer and explorer born on 17 July 1985 and originally from Bourges in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. A former maître d', he decided to embark on an adventure after reading Jamel Balhi's book about his crossing of the Americas on a run, entitled *Au cœur des Amériques*. Inspired by this book, Rémi decided to change his life and become an adventurer. In 2011, Rémi Camus completed his first major challenge by running across Australia, covering some 5,400 kilometres in 100 days. During this expedition, he discovered the scarcity of water in the country's arid regions, which reinforced his commitment to the issues of access to water. Between 2013 and 2014, he hydrospeeded down the Mekong, covering 4,400 kilometres from Tibet to Vietnam. The aim of this expedition was to raise awareness of the issues surrounding access to drinking water and to observe the different environmental conditions along the river. In 2018, he undertook a swimming tour of France, a project that enabled him to raise public awareness of environmental issues and the importance of preserving water resources. In 2023, he will be undertaking a sporting, educational and scientific expedition in collaboration with Grenoble University Hospital and the Wessling laboratory. This crossing from Calvi to Monaco once again illustrates his commitment to extreme challenges and environmental awareness, as well as his involvement in scientific research. Rémi Camus continues to inspire through his adventures and his commitment to global causes, sharing his experiences and knowledge of survival and the environment through various educational and awareness-raising projects.
