Designer & Founder - Bertrand Tellier

My passion for travel was ignited, like many of us, in my early 20's when I was fortunate to visit India and the Far East mostly by land transportation. Ever since I've traveled to destinations in all corners of Asia for both personal and business purposes exploring over 30 years, living now between Indonesia and Singapore.

My passion for all things cycling, running and wellness developed over a long time. One of the silver linings of the Covid pandemic disrupting our regularly scheduled lives in 2020 has been a renaissance for outdoor activities, and I was looking at a new challenge and thinking about taking my cycling and running to the next level. Going from casual cyclist or jogger to a committed triathlete at the age of 58, aiming ambitious goals was a great step forward and I found a welcoming community to support me. Lucky for me I already had the two longest parts of the triathlon under control; the bike and running so I decided to practice swimming, yoga and mindfulness. After more than 10 duathlons and triathlons events across Asia and Europe, ranging in distance from so-called sprint, olympic to half-iron or 70.3, I realised that hard work can develop natural talent.

Early in 2023, I decided to make a major change in my life and transition out from corporate world then relocate from Singapore to Bali, Indonesia with my family. Right from the start, I knew that cycling and wellness complimented each other perfectly and so I began finding ways of combining my appetite for adventure but comfortable travel, cycling and wellness with my experience and skills as business traveler and eventually, TOPAZ Adventures was born.

As the founder and leading guy behind TOPAZ Adventures, I coordinate everything on your retreat and worry about all of the tedious details for you, guaranteeing you get the most out of your time away. I have designed Topaz Adventures for people of all ages and backgrounds, and as a memorable experience, tailoring cycling and wellness escapes that combine my passions of cycling, triathlon, culture, wellness and travel. All you need is a sense of adventure.

Our strength at TOPAZ Adventures lies in our individuality. The team strives to bring in the best talent in various fields, from sport activities to wellness, hospitality and hassle-free logistics. Contact us today to talk about your next cycling retreat in Indonesia.

Look very much forward to meeting you on one of my TOPAZ Adventures somewhere soon.
