David
The backpacking leader is always on the move. If he does not teach the rules of river play, he is either exploring a new river in a remote country or you find him hanging from a paraglider in search of his next adventure.
Trainer of Rescue 3 river rescue instructors and National Guide Training Manager for the Italian Rafting Federation and the World Rafting Federation.
David
His nickname is feather. If David, the founder, also fell in love with paragliding, it is his fault.
A top driver, Davide has been competing on the world cup circuit for many years. No one could stop him until he landed in Brazil and met 'someone'. Now there are three of them.
Miguel
Not only an experienced mountaineer in the Pyrenees and the Alps, but also an incredible river guide! He has guided on rivers from Patagonia to the Grand Canyon to the Himalayas. Despite his big muscles, he is the most tender, humble and caring person... and the girls all fall in love! This year he has the daunting task of coordinating all the hotheads of the Totem Adventure Tribe!
International Rescue 3 River Rescue Instructor and Rafting Instructor for the Italian Rafting Federation (guide trainer).
Marc
Hyperactive like few others, Marc comes from the Pyrenees and is now ready for an exciting new adventure on the Dora Baltea. He alternates his descents seasonally between Patagonia, the Pyrenees, the Alps and the Himalayas. Always with a smile on his face, very good on the river but not only that... a magician, circus performer: he sings and charms women, as well as madly loving vegetables :)
Advanced river rescue technician for Rescue 3 and Class V guide for the Italian Rafting Federation.
Ricky
Always the quick wit, in the front line to party in good company, he gets surprisingly serious (or almost!) when he puts on his life jacket and helmet.
12 years ago, he took part in a River Rescue course organised by Totem and from there became part of the tribe. An excellent guide, he follows the seasons around rivers in Patagonia, Nepal and Italy.
Nice lines Ricki!
Ivan
Our former rookie!
He came to Totem when he was only 16 years old, with an overwhelming passion for the river... much stronger than his passion for school!
In a short time, he has demonstrated talent, dedication and a visceral love for rafting.
At only 18 years old, he gained the Class V Rafting Guidethus taking the podium as the youngest guide in the history of Totem Adventure!

Federica
She has tried everything, but can't stay away from the river world! A professional photographer, specialising in outdoor photography and a great traveller, this year she threw herself into the arduous task of organising the Totem tribe in the office! Best wishes. Always available, she will be your first contact on the phone and will welcome you with her infectious laugh in the centre.
Valeria
A graduate in motor sciences, she approached the world of rivers almost by chance, attending 'one of the many courses' offered by the faculty... and like many, she 'got under it'. After only two weeks in Valle d'Aosta, hearing so much about Himalayan rivers, she left for Nepal for the legendary expedition on the Tamur. Today you can see her whizzing around in Totem vans following your descents, while she continues her training to become a guide. Good job girl!
Camilla
The puppy of the group! Daughter of the family, because of her daddy she inherited the river bug. She tried rafting at the age of 12, then a descent in a topo duo, then in a kayak, then again in a raft... Today she can no longer stay away from the water! She has already competed in the European Youth Rafting Championship! Always willing to lend a hand where needed, you can see her darting around the base between one descent and the next... while her Latin version is still gathering dust on the table, but you don't say that! ;)
Lisa
Ivan
Our safety rookie! At only 17, Ivan is already a super canoeist with experience on rivers in Italy, France and Slovenia. An expert biscuit devourer, it can be said that the great passion he has for the river is nothing like his passion for school, but that's another story. :P
Mex
Our legendary driver, who for many years has managed to make the impossible possible! Driving a huge 4x4 van and a trolley with a stack of rafts as if it were a bicycle, he always manages to be at the landing points before the rafts arrive! Of few words, but with a giant heart.
