Hi, I’m Tom.
Welcome to my website. I’m an Adventure Travel Specialist, Podcast Host and Online Creator.
Here you’ll find my articles, podcast episodes and online courses.
“I can’t speak highly enough of Tom and his team. I have been participating in organised rides for over 25 years and I cannot recollect a better organised event especially when considering the complexity of long cycling days with 14 riders of varying ability”
“The whole course was so interesting I completed it in a day. Like a good book, hard to put down. It’s shown me my qualification pathway, given me some good ideas for streamlining my admin and given me more confidence about the future”.
“A fantastic new podcast for anyone wanting to make the career leap into outdoor adventure. It’s clear that Tom, the host, is passionate and interested. He asks important questions that not only encourage great stories but delve into the substance behind the brand or business. This is a great resource!”
