BLOG LINK IN BIO...
2019 was one hell of a year. 19 countries, 4 continents, over $100k donated to charity, $250k made from my blogs etc, I climbed the highest mountain in the continent of Australasia, the highest mountain in South America, the 2nd highest mountain in Europe, the highest mountain in Italy and alongside my superstar 70 yo mum, the highest mountin in Japan (well done mum!). I also got engaged in Bora Bora! Started the process of buying land and building my dream home in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand. Took on staff for Mudita Adventures, made a lot of mistakes, competed and completed the 'hardest foot race in the world' - the 6 marathons in 6 days in the Moroccon Sahara. I made some quality friends and I burned the candle a little too much at both ends. It felt like a super stressful year, but looking back on it, it really was a year to remember.

Now for 2020.... LINK IN BIO

What a start to the decade 🧗🏼🏔 The 4th (a

What a start to the decade 🧗🏼🏔 The 4th (and the 2nd highest) of the highest mountain on each of the 7 continents done, and probably the hardest physical day of my life 😱

The highest person on earth right then (the Himalayas are out of season, so I get to claim it!), atop of the highest mountain in South America, Aconcagua. It’s also the tallest mountain in the world outside the Himalayas at almost 7000m (6964m). 🙋🏼‍♂️ I’ve been talking a lot recently about my goal to be the first person to complete Grand Slam (highest mountain on each continent + the North Pole and South Pole, as well all up-to-date 205 countries (197 + Observer states) but I tried and failed Aconcagua last year due to high winds. It left me miserable, I was super low for months. Ridiculous perhaps but true 😬

13 months later I’m back! Again with @elbrustours , to try again. The weather was good but the high winds came back to haunt me, the reason I LOVE Russian mountain guides (apart from being FAR cheaper than all the European and North American companies) is that their hardcore nature. Straight down the line, no bullsh*t. Our window was small and our summit night was 80kph winds, but we gave it a crack anyway, and we did it! 🇷🇺🇷🇺 The 16 days have been a real challenge, and Aconcagua is no joke with 80kph winds and -33 on the summit. But I wanna say a huge thanks to Sergey who owns Elbrustours, our guides (and friends) Micha, Viktor and Dimtri, and our amazing team of climbers - my buddies Anthony, Paul and Bryan and now new friends in Dave, Craig, Nikita and Marius, it was a privilege to climb, and suffer, with you boys! Latvians, Russians, Brits, Irish - a great blend, let’s do it again soon! ❤️ I left London on December 27th so to finally be back in base camp on Jan 12th feels so good! No shower, no shave (turns out ginger/grey beards don’t look that cool!), 2 t-shirts, 2 socks, for 2 weeks is about to be rectified tonight and I can’t wait. 2 weeks no booze too, so Mendoza, Argentina is about to be drained of Malbec ❤️🍷 One huge sour note though was one of my best buddies Anthony got struck with severe altitude sickness and is recovering in hospital at the moment.❤️

London’s calling... My next flight is to London!

London’s calling... My next flight is to London! Best city in the world? Very possibly ❤️ Anyways, @klm have connections everywhere now! Checkout klm.com to find out more about your next trip to your fav destinations! ❤️🌍🌏🌎

The highs and lows of climbing mountains 😰😁😰😁 We are now on day 11 on our Aconcagua expedition with ElbrusTours, with the goal of summiting South America’s highest mountain. No shower, no running water, drop toilets (google it!), and high winds moving in.

After last years failure, I was hoping for a spell of good weather but quite the opposite has occurred with 100kph officially blowing on the summit 🤬

Anyway, we have been up to 5700m to acclimatise and now back at base camp waiting for any minor break in the wind to make a 2 day rush to the summit. The forecast suggests we may have a crack on 11th or 12th January (60kph winds those mornings, not great but just about possible). 🗻

Until then, stuck at base camp! Not leaving this continent until I’ve bagged this beauty 💪🇦🇷 Big thanks to @thenorthfaceuk for keeping me warm!

Life’s a climb, but the view’s always worth it

Life’s a climb, but the view’s always worth it ❤️🗻🇦🇷 Day 7 of my expedition to climb South America’s highest peak, Aconcagua. The weather has been perfect, but 100kph winds at the summit have jeapordised our summit attempt on the 9th/10th January again 😰🤬 Hoping the wind clears, otherwise im staying at base camp until it does. Not leaving Argentina until I get up to the top of this bloody mountain! Another 10 days of tent-life at Basecamp isn’t very appealing, but failing again is even less appealing! Let’s do it! Very grateful for the guides from @elbrustours, keeping me calm when I just wanna run up the thing 🙄

Aconcagua. The scene of the worst part of my life

Aconcagua. The scene of the worst part of my life over the last few years, after failing to climb it last year. I’m back, and at base camp (4,400m/14,000ft). 🗻🇦🇷🗻🇦🇷🗻🇦🇷 The highest mountain on South America has been taunting me all year, and now I’m back with @elbrustours but bad weather is moving in. Winds are up to 100kph again, so our summit day looks impossible. That means either staying at base camp for another week or so, or heading back to Mendoza, recover and come back a week later and do the whole 17 expedition again.

Praying for that wind to clear 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

12.5 months ago I was on Aconcagua. But we failed

12.5 months ago I was on Aconcagua. But we failed the summit. 150kph wind meant no one summited for over 3 weeks. It was soul-destroying to train, to pay, to try and to fail.

I knew I’d be back as soon as I could, so I signed up with @elbrustours for round 2 immediately. We start again in 1 hour. Here we go..... 🇦🇷🗻🇦🇷🗻🇦🇷

London City
Been a busy 2 weeks in Ireland, London, Ireland, London but Christmas is over ❤️ Spending quality time with people you love is what Christmas is all about for me. @jajaalicious and I checked out the highest point in the UK at @shardview, and it’s was pretty cool!

The break is up, It was an emotional recharge and now I’m ready to take on South America’s highest peak in my quest to become the first person to ‘see the whole world’ - every country, North Pole, South Pole and 7 summits. I failed my attempt to summit Aconcagua last year, so I’m off to Argentina to try again 🗻🗻🗻🇦🇷

And finally, a cool travel app. Remember that 'scratch' map that you could scratch off your countries? Imagine that, plus a bucket-list ticker, in one. So you can challenge yourself to do all the cool stuff in a city/country/continent, get inspired by bloggers and friends, and have fun on the leaderboard to see how you're getting on!

Taj Mahal has to be one of the most famous bucket list items, have you ticked and scratched that one off yet? Check out @maxplore.app , and you can get it for iPhone and Android. See you guys there! 🙂

This year I'm with my sister, bro-in-law, fiance, mum, niece and nephew. Traveling is beautiful, but Christmas is for the fam x

“Take a break, give your soul what it needs” ❤️🌎 Back in Bangkok with this one.

After 2 months of organising and running trips to Syria (twice), Lebanon, Ethiopia and Jordan I’m BURNED OUT from traveling. Time to hit the laptop, read some books, hit the gym, eat healthy, and look forward to a chill time, and then Christmas in the UK & Ireland with the fam ❤️

Traveling through Syria An eye opening couple of

Traveling through Syria
An eye opening couple of days for our team as we travel through Syria.

The warmth, and hospitality, of the Syrians hits home. The country has been through so much, but still they’re so warm, and proud, to show how beautiful their country is.

From the worlds best crusader castle, to the ‘oldest church in the world’, it’s a truly amazing country to visit. It’s only the unavoidable sites and the destruction in Homs that reminds our group the trauma the country has experienced so recently.

Each day you can see more and more tourists returning, which is great for people trying to get back to normal. We have one day left tomorrow, then back to Beirut 🙏🏻❤️

So I’ve taken my mum to Syria 😱 My mum has j

So I’ve taken my mum to Syria 😱

My mum has joined me, along with 10 others, as we travel around Syria for the next 5 days.
We are currently in the oldest city In the world, Damascus. It’s a privilege to be able to see a part of the world ignored by tourism since the crisis. Slowly but surely the tourist dollars are coming back.

Did you know?
👊🏻In 2010, Syria had more tourists than the Philippines!
👊🏻Damascus is the oldest city in the world, dating back 11,000 years!!! 😱
👊🏻 Syria is a historically secular country, meaning the Damascus bar scene is popping 🙈🍾

Saying goodbye to Ethiopia, and hello to Lebanon and Syria once again. 🇱🇧Beirut, put the beer in the fridge and prep the hummus. 🇸🇾Damascus, see you on Monday.
