Alex Aubert

Water, campervans, wild camping and the Nordic countries

A Breton, Alex spends as much time outdoors as he can, preferably on the water: kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing, fishing. He also loves campervanning, wild camping and nights under the stars, and knows the Nordic countries well, speaking two of their languages.

Full of energy and fond of a laugh, his mates and pre-dinner drinks, Alex is in the armed forces by profession. On the water, he goes kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing, catamaran sailing, rafting, fishing and diving; underground, he goes caving. In the mountains, he hikes, climbs, skis and goes sledging; he also does cross-country and trail running, and target shooting.

He prefers bivouacking and wild camping to glamping, happily sleeps under the stars, travels by campervan and motorhome, and also enjoys solo outings. He has already travelled quite a bit, and speaks Italian, English, Norwegian and Swedish.

On Outfarer, he writes regularly about canoeing and kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing and fishing, campervans, bivouacking and wild camping, mountain walking on waymarked routes, and Norway and Sweden, where the right of public access to nature governs wild camping. He also reviews articles in these areas, along with everything to do with water; ‘Reviewed by Alex Aubert’ then appears in their bylines. His favourite subjects: choosing a kayak or paddleboard as a beginner, preparing a night’s wild camping beside a lake, or understanding Sweden’s allemansrätten and Norway’s allemannsretten before setting off.

His approach: keeping things concrete, checking the rules in each country’s official texts, and putting safety on the water above all else. His articles are kept up to date, and any factual correction is noted at the bottom of the page. He has been part of the team since the magazine launched in 2026.
