TESTIMONIAL

Mary-Ann Ochota, Anthropologist & Broadcaster

"John is warm, charismatic and approachable. You instantly know he's the real deal. From his kit-packing tips to the deadpan way he describes his one-way trek into inhospitable jungle with semi-coherent guides, John brings the adventure to life. Culturally sensitive, technically skilled, and with first-hand evidence of the challenges remote communities now face, John is a Boys' Own Adventurer for the 21st Century."
