This is not just any trip, this is an exclusive adventure for 5-7 persons who are willing to push their limits and immerse themselves into the full experience of nature.

Cooperation, teamwork and most of all comradeship are fundamental parts of this group expedition and I’d like to show everybody what it’s like to live 100% inside the adventure. I’d like to share my world travel experiences and stories with you, along with my passion for moving around with just a tent and small back pack and hope that you can feel the enjoyment of nature in its purest form.

This adventure is not offered by any travel agency, its something completely unique. Disconnect from the cell phone and switch off your laptop, listen to the breeze and get ready to share an unforgettable experience with unknown people.7

Each day will have a bespoke adventure and all you need to worry about is bringing your willingness and the best attitude.
