Description

Hello! My name is Ben, from Scotland. I am 25 years old with a deep passion for travel, adventure and nature.

My life experience has been driven by my passion for adventure and nature, and if there is one thing I love more than having incredible experiences myself - it is sharing these with other people. Hence I have been incredibly fortunate to find myself a career in wildlife and adventure guiding, and I'm very lucky to have worked in some incredible environments and cultures from around the world!

Conservation is something I am hugely passionate about. The more of the planet that I experience, the more I am inspired to help conserve it and inspire others people to do so as well.

Aside from my work as a guide, I also work as a semi-professionally as a photographer - with most of my experience in wildlife, adventure (& landscape) and sport photography.

Nowhere is out of bounds for me - however at the moment I'm especially looking forward to returning to Africa. Zimbabwe was where I first solo travelled to at 18 (and then went to return for work at 19), so my heart is truly there.
