  • It is predicted that by 2050, an estimated 99% of seabirds will have ingested plastic. This #WorldOceansDay – and everyday onwards, you can make a difference to reduce the 13 million tonnes of plastic that is leaked into the ocean each year. How? Say no to straws, opt for refillable bottles and reusable coffee cups, carry a textile bag as opposed to a plastic bag, or pick up litter that may end up in our waterways. Together we can #beattheplastic so future generations are be able to enjoy the beauty of our beaches and coasts. Do you have tips to reduce single-plastic use?

  • If the growing popularity of #EverestBaseCamp is steering you towards a more off the beaten experience, the Gokyo and Renjo La route takes trekkers along the quieter and scenically arresting trails of the Everest region. This photo was taken at the summit of Gokyo Ri (5483m) - a tough ascent, but well worth the views. Check our blog (link in bio) for four more remote treks that will take you to a world away from home, only to leave you wanting to return for more.

  • Today we remember Sue Fear, who 13 years ago, lost her life while descending from the summit of Mt Manaslu in Nepal. Sue lives on in our hearts and minds as a friend, colleague and adventure guide. She was a wonderful ambassador for adventure travel, making her way in a male dominated sport in her mountaineering pursuits (reaching five of the world's 8,000 metre peaks) for her philanthropic work with Nepal, The Fred Hollows Foundation, the Australian Himalayan Foundation and for inspiring young people to never be afraid, give everything thing a go and live your dreams. Sue was invited to many schools during her career to present to the student cohort and we know this really influenced their outlook in such a positive way. We were blessed to have Sue’s professional involvement as a tour guide with World Expeditions over 16 years, leading trips on the Larapinta Trail, Tasmania, cross country ski trips out of Adaminaby, treks and mountaineering expeditions in Peru, Nepal, Pakistan and Patagonia. Our clients really enjoyed her passion for the mountains and the genuine care she displayed for the local people. She loved a beer, to dance and listen to music, to run, swim and bushwalk. She lived a minimalistic lifestyle and yet gave her time generously to all whom knew her. RIP Fearless, we miss you dearly.

  • Today marks the beginning of #Ramadan where more than a billion Muslims from around the world fast from sunup to sundown for an entire month. At sunset, when it's time to mark the end of the daylong fast, families and friends gather for an evening meal known as iftar. It is not only a month of #fasting for them, but also of reflection, charity and community for all. #ramadanmubarak 📷: Garry Weare
