life is for living.

Forget the big, faceless companies who see you as a booking reference and only care about your bucks... Book with Chris instead. He IS Global Shenanigans, he really cares about making your trip unforgettable and he's a sound, cool guy to hang out with. You will be glad to have him adventuring with you. He selects his local partners based on their experience, ethics and all round vibes. Sea Kayak Croatia smashed it on all counts.

All islands are best seen from the Sea and Rab is no exception. With the towering skyline of Croatia's mainland mountains as a backdrop, Rab Island is glorious in its contrasting visuals of lush forests and stark, rugged limestone cliffs and towns steeped in centuries of history.

Our first bite of the Adriatic Sea was sun drenched, turquoise waters. Navigated by our amazing guide, Filip. The paddling became more intense and completely immersive as we ventured out into open seas and crossed between islands.

Each camp was unique in landscape and flora. From secluded, barren pebble bays, alien moonscapes and pine-edged, sandy beaches. Most nights were content, peacefully basking under the pearlescent glow of the Milky Way.

The Bura wind was merciful and only threatened to blow our battened down tents away. We watched spectacular lightning storms flash over neighbouring ridges and shared a bottle of Yoško's homemade wine.

We paddled to the ruins of the women's prison island of Sveti Grgur where Fil gave us an insight into Croatia's fascinating history.

God tier squad goals achieved, easy when your group mates are fabulous, funny, generous and all round excellent people.

Hvala! Živjeli!

Couldn’t recommend this enough! Chris is incredible at organising everything so it all flows nicely without having to think about it. The local guides were awesome as well, you can tell both them and Chris truly care about you and your wellbeing. The sightseeing days and the amount of extra learning and information you get is highly appreciated. Would do this again, and definitely recommend!

This trip was magical. The location, the crew, the group and the guides all added something significant to make this a trip of a lifetime. Summit day was the most difficult for me but I felt so well supported at all times. Even though it was tough I never doubted I would make it. I remember our lead guide Tobias kept turning around and giving me such words of encouragement and strength. It was in fact all of the little things that made this trip unique. The attentiveness to details and personal connection from the local team made me feel at ease at all times.
This was a huge personal and physical goal for me. The trip fulfilled all that I was looking for.
Thank you Chris, the local team and my fabulous British men 🙂

If you are looking to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, you would want a well organised trip, with an experienced crew, great communication and the highest chances of summiting safely right??

From the first interaction with Chris at Global Shenanigans, to hitting the summit and getting back to the airport, you couldn't ask for a better experience.

We were in a small group of four who summited on 9th October with Chris and the team. Chris picked us up at the airport and guided us through the next 12 days with a warm up trip to Chemka Hot Springs, some local eateries and onto the main event.

The team he put together to get us to the top were amazing. They looked after us, guided us, cooked us great food, sang to us and became our friends.

A truly amazing experience to remember for a lifetime.

Thank you Chris!

My second trip of 2025 with Chris / Global Shenanigans and what a truly amazing experience.
From the very start Chris exceeded expectations explaining what we were to expect and how to prepare . Communication throughout was top notch until the final execution which once again was superb.
The support from Chris and the wonderful support team that looked after us on Kili was amazing and I cannot thank them enough for their all round encouragement and commitment.
Finally my wonderful trekking buddies , thank you for making this a truly wonderful 2 weeks . You all created memories of a lifetime.
Here’s looking forward to 2027 , cya at Mt Blanc.
