 Adventure Shared

Explorers Connect is on a mission to make adventure more accessible

‘Founded by Belinda Kirk who’s worked in the adventure industry most of her life: “I was always being asked by friends how they could join an adventure or work in the industry. It seemed that many wanted more adventure in their lives but didn’t know where to start. There was nothing more satisfying than being able to help others realise their adventurous dreams but I realised that I could only help a few people at a time; what was needed was a central place where adventure seekers and adventure professionals could meet to share advice and opportunities“.’

Explorers Connect features all things adventure and exploration – from Kite Surfing in Mozambique and South Africa; Trekking the Great Himalaya; Paragliding in Tajikistan; Racing in the South Pole; to canoeing and trekking over a 1000km on and alongside the River Gambia! (I guess that’ll be us then)…and it goes on.
