For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a passion for adventure. As a kid, I was captivated by books filled with epic journeys, daring explorers, and thrilling discoveries. Those stories sparked my imagination and fuelled my desire to seek out my own adventures in the real world.
Joining Scouts, earning my Queen’s Scout Award, and becoming both a leader and mountaineering instructor gave me the chance to take part in countless incredible experiences. I’d spend every free weekend, day off, and holiday squeezing in one adventure after another—camping with the Scouts one weekend, cycling with friends the next, and fitting in a rock climb with my brother on a Tuesday evening.
Then life took another exciting turn—I got married and started a family. Rather than slowing down, I found new ways to weave adventure into our lives, sharing the experiences with my wife and kids. Whether it’s camping under the stars, cycling through forest trails, or paddling on a quiet lake, adventure is something we enjoy together.
While I still go for a "cycle" with friends or a "paddle" with family, I now make a point to turn those moments into something bigger, to feel that all-consuming sense of discovery—the pull of the unknown just beyond the horizon. And also because adventure isn’t just about where you go; it’s about who you share it with and the stories you create along the way.
