As a hiking guide and expedition leader I’ve worked with groups and individuals internationally for the last 15 years, from day trips to 6 week long expeditions in some extremely far flung as well as closer to home places.

As an outdoor educator and facilitator I’ve worked in conservation and sustainability leadership and more recently with organisations and individuals in the outdoors, exploring how spending time in wild places can powerfully inform the way we live and work in ways that can be sustainable and regenerative.

I’m a back-country skier, trail runner, climber and rookie cold water enthusiast. I’m also a lover of good food so there’s never a tasty morsel too far away!

No one adventure but a series of experiences and interactions that have helped shape me, including… riding bus rooftops through the foothills of the Himalayas, sharing campfires with Nepalese shepherds in mountain caves, drinking rice wine in the kitchen tent with Pakistani porters half way up the Baltoro Glacier, eating a fire roasted leg of lamb around the fire with a group in The Altai, Siberia, coming into a full gallop whilst riding a wild horse in Mongolia, sleeping under a 5000 year old Bristlecone Pine in the Sierras and closer to home, spending a night on Cul Mor, above the cloud and the darkest skies imaginable.

Astronomy and alpine cheeses.
