Through the Portal 🧙‍♂️🧙‍♀️ Sa

Through the Portal 🧙‍♂️🧙‍♀️ Same place, two very different results. I find it really interesting to see what other people capture from the same event. Often it's something you've completely missed or overlooked yourself, or in another style. It really is looking through someone else's eyes.

You can start GETTING PAID TO TRAVEL with a job th

You can start GETTING PAID TO TRAVEL with a job that you love by entering the Outdoor Industry. Over the last few months I have been creating this ebook to help guide you on your own path to begin a life filled with adventure and good times! This is the thing that I wished existed when I began my own journey of discovery 8 years ago. I wasted a lot of time, money and energy, never really knowing where this could take me or how to get there. I was good at winging it, stuck the course and ended up living and working all over the world. With this ebook, you will be able to choose a clear pathway to success by developing goals in line with your own dreams. This has been designed out of my own personal experience, as well as that of the many folks I have met along the way. Whether you are looking for a summer break, a gap year, a winter ski season or to begin a lifelong career in the outdoors, you will find clear direction to start making that happen. Some of my own jobs in the Outdoor Industry include: - Sea kayaking with humpback whales & orca
- Camping in the deserts of Inner Mongolia
- Hiking the Great Wall of China
- Leading expeditions to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro
- Digging watering holes for African wildlife
- Ripping around on jet skis with children's charity groups
- Kayaking alongside erupting volcanoes
- Snowboarding for 24 months in a 5 year period With the right skill set, you can begin exploring the world and wilderness, taking paying clients on their own bucket list adventures.

How's your Monday going?
(swipe for video) 🦁🍽️🦓 Whatever hardships you're facing, remember, it could always be worse... You could be this adolsecent zebra that's been chosen for dinner by the Tarangire lions. Witnessing the circle of life revolving is one of the most spectactular sights, full of emotion. Sadness at the pain of suffering, yet understanding that's just the way the natural world works. It's how all other carniverous animals collect their supper. That was a prevalant thought I had, just a few weeks later when camping in the Serengeti. I silently lay awake, eyes wide open, on high alert whilst listening to a pride of lions roar their way around our perimeter, with nothing but a thin sheet of nylon between us. So anyway, still some spaces on Tanzania trips later this year. Who's coming? Photos taken by me, video by my good friend @tropeaksadventuresltd .

The Aonach Eagach is the narrowest ridge on the British mainland and makes a case for being one of our scariest hikes. The ridge itself is only about 5-6 miles long, but a combination of vertical faces, slippery rocks, ice patches, narrow ledges and technical down climbing make it fairly terrifying. I'm not sure if doing it in a cloud made it better or worse. Would you prefer to fall into the cloudy bottomless abyss or onto jagged rocks 100ft below?

BTS Lake Natron. 🦩🦩🦩 Some shots from Flamingo Land! Roughly 75% of the world's lesser flamingos are born here. The water temp can reach 40-60 celsius and has a ph level of 12 alkaline. The toxicity keeps away most things, creating a safe space for the birds that nest here. As well as flamingos, we found stalk, pelican and even an owl! You may recognise it from David Attenborough's latest show Perfect Planet.

So cool to see my work out in the wild! I wrote this piece for SWARA - an East African wildlife & conservation magazine. It's about my experience visiting Tanzania during the pandemic, climbing Kilimanjaro and heading out on safari. I am thrilled to see my photos and words in a printed magazine. The text is probably too small to read here, but I am proud to be putting words out to a wider audience. Thank you @guillaume_the_wanderer for the photo from Kenya!

There's light on the horizon ☀️☀️☀️

There's light on the horizon ☀️☀️☀️ Lockdown 3.0 is almost over! This one has been... Weird but okay. Watching Tiger King, sunshine beers, movie marathons, daily workouts. That's all a distant memory now. I accidentally skipped the second one, which turned out to be a fantastic idea. Then this lockdown. It didn't quite go to plan. Moving all the way to Scotland to throw together some form of a winter season was rumbled by the fact that the resort closed the day after I arrived and has still not been able to open since. Snowboard lessons taught: 0
Days splitboarding: 7 The days that there was snow have been incredible. You really have to work for it though. Still, I have nothing to complain about. Plenty of mountain days, hiking and some climbing. I'm thankful to be in an industry that has allowed me to spend each lockdown in an entirely different place, in beautiful locations surrounded by nature. I've spent a lot of time working on my ebook / digital course thing that will help other people get into the outdoor industry. So next time there's a global pandemic (God I hope not) your experience can be 'weird but okay' too!

Floating in the ocean ☁️☁️☁️ The forecast for this day was mist in the morning, sun and cloud in the afternoon. They weren't wrong... but holy moley did it turn out to be so much more than that! .
