30’s a big number, and one that we think is worth shouting about. So, in celebration of our 30^th birthday this year, we thought we’d sit down with Jonathan, Discover Adventure’s founder, and discuss the highs and lows (and everything in between!) of the last three decades.

In our pursuit of extraordinary stories from the DA family, we spoke to Jo, a remarkable 32-year-old with an inspiring story. Jo's courage and determination reflect the spirit of our community, embodying the essence of adventure beyond the ordinary. This story really resonated with us as Jo's tale is more than a travelogue; it's a testament to the power of seizing life.

In today's fast-paced and digitally connected world, spending time outdoors can have a powerful impact on our mental well-being. With it being Mental Health Awareness Week, we want to highlight the benefits of adventure travel on our psychological health.

What an incredible journey this was, from the short climbs, on a very wet start in Cornwall, to the emotional finish through Scotland's deserted windy highlands. With storm Alex arriving on day 3 (obviously blowing in from the North!), days of constant rain and emotional meltdowns to rival any DA trip! Ongoing logistical challenges in the form of another lockdown chasing our tail - just to add to the excitement!

During lockdown, we were thrilled to be able to keep in touch with our DA Family online. We talked on our Facebook page daily, we reminisced and shared pictures. People told us their stories, and one of those standout stories was when Victoria told us about how she met her soon-to-be Husband on our Everest Base Camp trip back in 2018. 

Winter training. Do you love it or loathe it?
