Passions
After several years in Africa, I am currently traveling Latin America, residing among indigenous peoples, such as the Bri-bris in Costa Rica, the Kogis in Colombia, the Qeros in Peru, the Uchupiamona in Bolivia, and the
Guaranis in Paraguay. I am passionate about archeology (I (re) discovered ruins in Peru) and ancient arts, but don't mind trying to understand quantum physics or modern art. I like literature as long as it is not pedantic like Flaubert, likes a cinema which makes you dream intelligently. I love the present and the past, because the future concerns us all.

Background Today I am a freelance journalist, seeking to share the truth of the world. I have a master's degree in international relations from the Graduate institute, I am the former director of programmes of UPR Info, an international human rights NGO that I co-founded. I was also national manager at EAGLE (an NGO fighting against trafficking in protected animals), and member of the Committee of the Green party of Geneva, Switzerland. As a volunteer journalist and activist for Amnesty International's Swiss chapter, I wrote and organized many activities to denounce the death penalty and torture all over the world. I carry out the ethical and practical fights, in other words those for which my action can make a difference for the most disadvantaged, be they humans or animals.

San Carlos de Bariloche, la Suisse de Patagonie
LesArgentins dénomment affectueusement la région de San Carlos de Bariloche "la petite Suisse". On peut y skier en hiver, manger une ragoûtante fondue au fromage ou au chocolat, grimper des montagnes et dormir dans des refuges près de lagunes cristallines. On y trouve même une "Colonia suiza", un hameau qui s'éveille parresseusement le matin venu, […]

Donner de l’espoir balle au pied aux prisonniers
(cet article est paru dans Echo Magazine) « La prison fabrique […] des délinquants en imposant aux détenus des contraintes violentes », écrivait Foucault. Dans ce cas, serait-il possible de renverser le processus pour fabriquer des individus aptes à être réinsérés sans violence, au moyen du football, par exemple ? Notre regard sur les prisonniers […]

Antarctique: la vie existe là où l’on ne devrait pas la trouver
En Antarctique, dans l’un des lieux les plus sombres et les plus froids de la planète, viennent d’être découvert des dizaines d’organismes se reproduisant en toute quiétude depuis des milliers d’années. « L’approche scientifique de la vie est peut-être à revoir ; notre découverte d’une faune abondante dans l’un des milieux les plus inhospitalier de […]
