YVAN

Yvan is from Aylmer, Quebec. He completed his degree in Advanced Geomatics from University of Ottawa in 2003 and is currently working as a GIS Technologist with the Canadian Forces based in Ottawa.

An audacious enthusiast of the outdoor sports, Yvan is an avid x-country skier in the winters and a stupendous mountain biker in the summers. Yvan's initial plan for the summer 2006 was to climb the mountains in Peru, but when he came to know about this trekking and cultural extravaganza in the Indian Himalayas, he changed his mind and booked his flight to Delhi. (He was the first person in the group to book his flight to India)

Yvan loves the spicy Indian food and is very excited about eating "momo" and drinking "butter tea" and "chhang" in Ladakh. He plans on doing treks in Ladakh and Himachal during the month of September.
