Would you like us to come and talk to you?

We enjoy sharing our passion, learning and ideas with others and love to spread the word about family adventure through humourous, informative, multimedia, motivational talks. And we’re experienced in talking with groups from schools, to community groups to festivals and as stand alone lectures.

Whether you’re a business, community group, school, club or event organiser, if you’re interested in us coming to educate, entertain, inform or inspire at your meeting, festival or special occasion, do get in touch and let’s see if we can make it happen.

 Inspiring Talks

We’d love to come talk to you about the joys and challenges of family adventure

Sessions tailored to your interests

Sessions can follow a particular journey or a theme and we’re happy to tailor them to address particular business, conference or festival themes, audience interests, time slots. We can also deliver in lecture, workshop or interactive style as preferred.

Our sessions draw upon our personal experience and ongoing research into family adventure.We’re in touch with a wide network of adventurous families doing extraordinary things right across the globe so we can bring a wide perspective to complement our own personal experiences, giving first hand accounts of what it’s like to adventure and highlighting what families adventuring together can achieve.

Our experience of travelling with kids is long and varied so we’ve many a tale to tell about cycling, sailing, canoeing, camper-vanning, eco-touring, roadtripping, railroading and backpacking in places as diverse as New Zealand, Iceland, Faroe Islands,  Samoa, America, Sweden, Canada, France, Spain, Holland, Germany, Austria, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Slovakia, Poland and the UK. And that includes some 20,000km of independent self supported family cycle touring experience.

 Inspiring Talks

We’ll share the pain, the joy, the lessons learnt

Inspiring talks about the realities of family adventure

Using pictures, video and audio, we can take you on virtual journey to see places, do things and meet people we’ve encountered.  We can show amazing things you can do as a family, explain the benefits of adventuring together, talk about what it means to be an adventure parent, discuss how to cultivate the spirit of adventure in kids, share what we’ve learnt on our travels together, and help inspire you and your group to get out, get active and do extraordinary things together.
