A dictionary definition of each team member

During our final nights we sat around the fire and remised about our trip, amused by the challenge of creating a dictionary definition of each team member. Here they are:

ulysse. Social bearded grizzly like creature. When not hibernating is a master of miming and storytelling. A passionate writer, the blog baby sitter, the Ulysse believes the meal he is currently eating is the “greatest ever”.
Antonym: A fisherman who provides (see blog: a fishing story).


elsa. Cordon bleu master of rice and nodules, she can turn potatoes and cabbage into a five start meal. Person capable of managing to maintain an incomprehensible level of cleanliness while on the trail. Safety conscience, an Elsa laughs often and is in frequently awe of her surroundings.
Antonym: Plumber, devil’s advocate


eric. Jack-of-all-trades, able to build a flying machine with only a knife, duct tape and one shoe. A living Juke-box, can recite any song. An Eric can be observed with a paddle and a solar panel in one hand, while carving a wood spoon with the other, often leaving a trail of forgotten gear scattered around camp.
Antonym: Consultant for an oil company, Mormon



sarah: A camera on two legs who perceives the world in frames. Allergic to the 9 to 5 she keeps to field work. Contagiously energetic. Nomadique. First to rise, last to slumber, often found balanced on a slack line, equally at ease holding a paddle or a kite.   
Antonym: Princess, carnivore, materialist
