Stuff | Endurance, Expeditions, Swimming & Freediving

I’ve never been interested in comfort.

Not because I’m particularly tough. Mostly because I make bad decisions, and I’m terrible at learning lessons.

Over the years I've run across countries, swum across straits, hauled myself through deserts, slept under trees, got lost, got injured, missed cut-offs, quit a few things, finished a few others, and generally spent an unreasonable amount of time asking: "I haven't quite thought this through", or "I wonder what happens if I keep going?"

Some adventures worked.

Some didn't.

Some never even started.

Most made for a good story afterwards.

This page is a collection of those stories.
