A security adviser to global humanitarian aid organisations, he works to keep aid workers safe in in complex contexts globally. James has lived on four continents, travelled to over 50 countries and has been a keen adventure traveller for over 35 years. 

PPE Crew

A small but growing group of adventurers have joined us on PPE trips. They include journalists, social media influencers, retired military or police, academics, young, old, men and women. They are drawn to the challenge involved in doing something different and being part of a team overcoming challenges as we go.

We are always looking for people with a shared attitude to adventure and a willingness to pitch in and enjoy the challenges faced on expeditions. If you think you might like to join us feel free to contact us and introduce yourself.
