I’ ve worked as a guide and expedition leader since 2012. I have been lucky enough to work in some fantastic places, including rainforests in Sri Lanka, jungle rivers in Panama and New Zealand’ s waterways. I have sought out Personal expeditions on Icelandic glaciers, Canadian lakes, and paddleboarding the Amazon. Mongolia has been a dream destination since I was a teenager reading Conn Iggulden books on Genghis Khan.

THIS YEAR, EVERYTHING FINALLY CAME TOGETHER FOR THE EXPEDITION TO MONGOLIA.
I’ ve been guiding five-day canoe expeditions in New Zealand with Phil, owner of Canoe Safaris NZ. On a trip, I mentioned I had a half-formed plan for a trip to Mongolia, and he immediately asked to join. His enthusiasm pushed the idea from a dream into a reality.
