Goals

Promote resilience, team work and environmental sustainability through linking adventurers and their stories of expeditions to ordinary people.

Definitions

For our purposes we are defining the following terms:

Expeditioner or Adventurer

a person who undertakes a journey in the outdoors. The definition includes people who live in or travel through remote and wild places. This could include indigenous people traveling through their land, bushwalkers, mountain climbers, sailors, desert travelers and long distance aviators. The person can be alone or in a group.

Expedition or Journey

a journey of considerable length of time and/or distance, largely self sufficient and away from urban areas. This journey means travel across the earth’s surface (or into space) rather than an emotional or healing journey.

• Rik Head
