I'm an Explorer.
In other words, I go to the uncharted places of our planet, and document the many worlds I find along the way.
I consider it my duty to open people's eyes to the beautiful fragility of our planet, amplify the voices of climate advocates, and support sustainable enterprise.
I embark on solo, team and world-first expeditions. I film and write about these to create uplifting and thought provoking content to inspire the next generation of climate stewards and adventurers and lead guided adventures for inexperienced explorers.
I also write about my experiences, and partner with organizations and companies that make our world a better place.
Adventure is a mindset.
Forget the "adventure of a lifetime", make a lifetime of adventure.
I’m just getting started
At the age of just twenty three, I became a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society (est. 1830), and the youngest ever elected council member of the Scientific Exploration Society (est. 1982).
I feel privileged to stand at the forefront of modern exploration, having completed over twenty expeditions traversing mountain ranges, tropical rainforests and Arctic tundra.
