I help people get outside and do more.
For nearly twenty years I’ve planned and led adventures all over the world. Now I help other people do the same, whether that’s planning a big trip, taking on a group challenge or building a career outdoors.
Expedition leader · Founder of More Adventure · Host of the Adventure Pro Podcast · Get in touch
I’ve turned my love of adventure into my career.
I’ve travelled to over 50 countries, led people up mountains, cycled all over the world and helped many others to travel and adventure more. I feel lucky to have made a life out of it.
“I learnt from a very early age that our time on this earth is short. Accepting that simple reality has completely changed my outlook on life.”
So I try to pack in as much as I possibly can, and to persuade other people to do the same. In 2010 I founded More Adventure, which has helped countless individuals and groups achieve amazing things through adventure. Many of those events have raised thousands of pounds for charity, and helped people through difficult times in their lives. It’s been by far my most rewarding venture so far.
