For 35 years the Explorer weekend at the Royal Geographical Society has been an incubator and supporter of exploration.
I’ve been a Fellow of the Society for almost 20 years now and often been invited to contribute or speak on the expedition advisory panel.
Wonderfully, I was nominated for my earlier works with Amazonian tribes. Simply put, the RGS is an extraordinary organization that for the last 180 years has been a driving force of global exploration, nurturing intrepid spirit by supporting those brave, bold or foolish enough to risk their lives and push the boundaries in an effort to communicate a better understanding of the world around us. To be recognized as a part of this endeavour is, without doubt, my proudest achievement.
