Join me on my 2025 Trips; Syria, Mauritania, Turkmenistan and more!

I haven’t been in an airplane for 6 weeks, and I must admit, it feels pretty good! Why? I have some personal stuff going on in Thailand so I need to be home for a bit. But, I’ve been quietly working behind the scenes on all my plans for 2025, and I hope to see some of you guys next year! So here are my epic 2025 trips, including (I hope) some life changing experiences for people:

February 2025:

Libya:

March 2025:

Syria:

The long story short? I haven’t been to Syria since 2019, and it’s time to go back. We start the trip in Amman, Jordan and we overland and cross the land border in the oldest city in the world, Damascus.

Damascus, Homs, Aleppo, Hama, Palmyra, and back to Damascus. Start and finish in Amman, Jordan.

The north korea of Africa. And one of the least visited countries in the world. Normally A COMPLETE NIGHTMARE for visas, but…. i know a guy who knows a guy! So that stress is now removed. I’ll be able to get pretty much everyone their visa in advance. So come join while we can do that!

June 2025

Pakistan, Kashmir and China Charity Trip

You can see the full Pakistan, Kashmir and Chins tour Itinerary HERE. And you can book it HERE.

This trip is my first charity trip of the year. Where we use some of the profits to fund various pop-up clinics, functioning toilets, running water etc for an impoverished community in Pakistan. On day 2, we visit the community and see the work that is being carried out solely because you guys joined our trip. So thank you!

Then it’s quite literally one of the most epic trips in the world. We fly to Pakistani Kashmir, the wildest views on earth. And we road-trip across the Karakoram highway, through the Khunjerab Pass (the highest border crossing in the world), into China. Following the silk route, again overland, all the way to Urumqi. It’s wild.

• June 8-16, $3799. Deposit just $300.

August 2025

Turkmenistan and the Gates of Hell;

Almost sold out, be quick! You can see the full Turkmenistan tour Itinerary HERE. And you can book it HERE.

NEWSFLASH: The ICONIC Gates of Hell are closing! We don’t know how long it will take, but it’s possible 2025 is the last chance we can witness the 60+ year old burning crater, aka the Gates of Hell. So come join quick!

• August 16-21, $1799 (MY CHEAPEST TRIP!), Deposit $300

NEW: The Highway to Hell Ultra Cycle (Turkmenistan)

You can see the full Turkmenistan tour Itinerary HERE. And you can book it HERE.

It’s my dream to create 4 yearly, repeated events that change people’s lives. The Eye of the Sahara Ultra Marathon is 1, and this – the Highway to Hell Ultra Cycle is number 2. We will cycle 300km (almost 200 miles) from Ashgabat, Turkmenistan’s capital city to the Gates of Hell across 2 days. It’ll be hot as hell, uncomfortable, miserable, painful BUT DOABLE. You’ll hate me every minute until the end. And when you finish, you’ll love me. More importantly, you’ll love yourself more than ever before. Come suffer with us.

• August 15-21, $2,499, Deposit $300

Madagascar Charity Trip

You can see the full Madagascar tour Itinerary HERE. And you can book it HERE.

Our second charity trip of the year. Our funding will refurbish a primary school, and of course we will visit to see the work that you guys have funded. Then the adventure begins. We’re sailing across Madagascar, crossing the country by boat, in a way most tourists never get to see! Finishing up at the insanely gorgeous Avenue of the Baobabs. One of the best travel sights you can see on our beautiful planet.

• August 24-31, $3,299. Deposit just $300.
• You can combine this with my Turkmenistan trip above to make August the best month of your life!

October 2025

Mongolia and the Eagle Festival

You can see the full Mongolia tour Itinerary HERE. And you can book it HERE.

The coolest festival on the planet? Maybe. Our 3rd and final charity trip (we install functioning toilets for families outside Ulan Bataar), then we fly to rural Mongolia to witness a spectacle like no other. The Eagle Festival. Where nomadic tribes showcasing millenia old techniques, with their eagles, for hunting and sport. Sleeping in gers, bootleg booze, in the wilderness. I missed this in 2024 due to other commitments, so I organised it again because I WANT TO GO SO BAD TOO! Come and join me.

• October 1-8, $3,299. Deposit just $300.

December 2025

Mauritania and the Iron Ore Train

You can see the full Mauritania tour Itinerary HERE. And you can book it HERE.

Have a real adventure. None of this “2 weeks in Thailand” nonsense. Join me DEEP in the Sahara, and (illegally) hitch a ride on the Iron Ore Train as we travel 1000km to the African coast, under the sahara stars. Mauritania is one of the best countries in the world to travel in. Come get lost with me.

• December 6-13, $2,349. Deposit just $300.

NEW: The Eye of the Sahara Ultra Marathon

You can see the full Eye of the Sahara Ultra Marathon tour Itinerary HERE.

2024 sees the first ever edition of the Eye of the Sahara Ultramarathon. 100miles/160km through the soft sand dunes of the Sahara desert. Starting from the magical ‘Eye of the Sahara’, said to be home to the Lost City of Atlantic. 2025 is the second edition. Come suffer with us. Learn what it means to truly push yourself beyond what you thought you could do. And come out the other side like a legend. We are all capable of so, so much more. I promise you.

• December 4-11, $2,999. Deposit just $300.

The Different Style of Trips

I made my name and my money from living a pretty fucking cool life. Visiting every country in the world, climbing the 7 summits, running marathons (and ultra marathons) at North Pole, South Pole, running and cycling across countries. And managing to donate $300,000USD along the way.

It’s a wild ride, and long may it continue. As I get older, I realise why death doesn’t scare me. Why I sleep soundly at night. Because I know I’m living the life I was meant to. Meeting amazing people, giving back, and trying my best to fulfill my potential. AND I AM OBSESSED WITH HELPING OTHERS DO THAT TOO.

So I run these trips, expeditions and experiences. I don’t need the money anymore, and I’d probably be a lot fitter if I wasn’t getting drunk with you guys in dive bars in Mali or the Congo every few months. With that, my trips come in 3 different styles:

REAL Adventure:

You want to feel ALIVE. Going to countries you only hear bad shit about on the news. But you want to see for yourself. Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen. I love these kind of destinations. These untouched countries are so beautiful, and the local people are so warm and hospitable. This is the real beauty of travel. Opening your eyes to cultures, foods, landscapes that you thought was only possible in books or cartoons.

These trips are for people who want to travel deeper, where Mexico and Spain aren’t cutting it anymore!

Charity:

In 2018, with my best buddy Josh, we founded Mudita Adventures. Our foundation where we use a large portion of our profits to fund projects in developing communities. Donating over a quarter of a million dollars since we started. I plan to do these trips forever.

Through travel we’ve managed to build malaria clinics, playgrounds, kindergartens, waterwells etc in more than 10 countries. And what’s more, the kind of people that these trips attract are legends. The destinations are still pretty wild (ski trip in Afghanistan in 2024 for example!), so it’s people who want a wild ride, but to give something back too. It makes for some life long friendships.

Transformative:

I’m a huge proponent of TOUGH LOVE. You don’t know yourself until you’re truly tested. And only you can test yourself. Let me set up some places that allow you to do just that.

People can do the most amazing things. We don’t need to consume social media where other people are the heroes. YOU CAN BE THE HERO. You just have to make the choice. I learned this in 2017, already 33 years old, but better late than never. Since then I’ve tried to push the envelope further and further, and gone on to make myself proud, and love myself more. And I know you can do that too. That’s why I have created the Eye of the Sahara Ultramarathon and the Highway to Hell ultracycle. So normal people, LIKE ME, can do abnormal things. Test themselves, learn about themselves, and come out the other side like a legend. So come and suffer with us. It’s change your life.

FINAL THOUGHTS ON MY 2025 TRIPS YOU CAN JOIN

I know there are a million other trips you can join. And a million other ‘tour companies’. I may be deluded, but I honestly think my trips are different. Not only to I personally guide them all (personal circumstances aside), but I’m not really a ‘real’ company. I do this because I love it. And I love to meet the type of weirdos who join these trips. Because they are my people. And many of them are no lifelong friends. So come and join me.

One day we’ll be too old to do this stuff. Fill your life with amazing experiences, insane memories, and a beautiful community of people to have shared it with. Money comes and goes, I know that better than most. But you’re never as young as you are tonight. Don’t hesitate, and I’ll see you in 2025.
