trailer



Embark on an impossible quest into the remote and pristine Siberian Taïga with three free spirits: a vagabond dog, a mighty horse and a mad man. See how against all odds, the trio manages to complete a 1000-kilometer loop in 5 weeks, using only muscle-power.

Yannick Daoudi
Yannick was born in 1978 in Morocco, spent his teenage years in the United States, and then moved to Canada for over a decade of full-time university studies. A life-long student, Yannick applies his student philosophy to all aspects of life, always looking for something new to learn from a stranger in an unfamiliar land. His greatest passion in life is adventure and muscle-powered travel, having covered more than 30,000km across 30 countries so far. After witnessing the impact of his public conferences, he’s now convinced that his mission in life is to inspire people to help make a better world by bringing back stories of the people and places he encounters in his travels. When he’s not globetrotting, Yannick studies, teaches and works on raising funds for his humanitarian projects.
