I am a British adventurer, expedition leader, speaker and Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. I am also a qualified Winter Mountain Leader and remote first aider with a degree in Outdoor Leadership (BA).

With experience across 75 countries, I specialise in leading groups through through the world's wildest places, from Somalia to Siberia, Iraq to Congo, Tajikistan to Yemen. Through my company Wild Edge, I organise and lead adventurous journeys across the globe, including bespoke expeditions for private and corporate groups. Eight exciting destinations are already booked in for 2022.

I have led an array of clients from dozens of countries, from industry-leading business figures and avid world-travellers to former CIA officers, terminal cancer patients and young people embarking on their very first adventure.

Highlights include:
A solo winter 8000-mile journey across the mountainous spine of Asia from Hong Kong to Istanbul.
Climbed the highest mountain in Iraq, and other notable peaks across 35 countries and 4 continents.
A solo winter 400-mile crossing of Lake Baikal, Siberia, while hauling a 60kg sled and covering a marathon a day.

When I'm not travelling, I share tales and motivational messages at various events across the UK and Europe.
