Gratitude & the hand we are dealt
•
Since I began visiting different countries, I have seen and been lucky enough to spend time with thousands people with very different lives to my own. They’ve often had less than I have, often had more. So what does this mean? It has given me perspective. I am fully aware…

The back of that truck
•
In my 36 years on this earth I have had numerous jobs. Since my first paper-round at aged 11, I have experienced earning money in some varied and interesting means. I’ve approached each role with the same attitude, work hard and go over and above what is required of me.…

Northern Norway Part 4 – A cathedral, skiing, zip line & the ice hotel
•
I instantly regretted pickled fish over breakfast. After a quick transfer of luggage to our new hotel, we visited the imposing Northern Light Cathedral, Alta.

Essential Online Tools for Small Businesses – Part 3: Fiverr
•
As previously discussed, it’s tempting to take on every single role within a business, certainly when you’re first starting out. I think it’s a good idea to have a handle on each aspect of your business in the first instance because it prepares you for when you come round to…

Visiting Venice
•
Sightseeing in Venice was not something I was particularly looking forward to. I’d heard stories of long queues, relentless selfies, over zealous souvenir-sellers, and coach (boat) loads of people filling the streets. I’d spent the last few days in front of a computer catching up on emails, doing some christmas…
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!”
