You can make your dream adventures come true.

With over forty years of experience exploring the world’s wildest places, I have visited countless mountain ranges and climbed and skied many iconic peaks — including all of the Seven Summits.

Here are some of the adventures from the last five years:

2025

Pico da Neblina, deep in the heart of the Brazilian Amazon — an unforgettable expedition and trek with the Yanomami tribe through one of the most remote and awe-inspiring rainforests on Earth.

Ruwenzori Mountains — The third-highest peak in Africa and a true expedition. The journey includes crossing dense rainforest, traversing glaciated terrain, and challenging rock climbing — an awe-inspiring adventure that can be combined with a visit to the nearby Gorilla National Park.
