About David Smyth

I'm a lifelong traveller and adventurer with an unending curiosity for the world and its hidden gems. Whether it's trekking through remote mountains, immersing myself in local cultures, or seeking out the wonderful and unique, travel fuels my life and broadens my perspective.

I thrive on crafting immersive journeys that blend off-the-beaten-path exploration with meaningful cultural connections. My strength lies in exploring unique destinations, building authentic relationships with local communities, and uncovering experiences that inspire and transform. I’m passionate about responsible travel, ensuring the world’s beauty is preserved for all to experience.

From climbing iconic peaks to discovering the lesser-known areas of the world's cities, my travels have been an adventure in storytelling and discovery. I've had the privilege of swimming with whale sharks in Indonesia, exploring ancient temples in Asia, and venturing deep into the heart of Africa. Each journey has left a profound mark on me. It's these journeys that have allowed me to create my client's holidays and the resulting lifelong memories. While every destination holds its charm, a few have a special place in my heart. India's cultural diversity keeps drawing me back. The dramatic landscapes of Patagonia leave me in awe every time I visit them. One destination that remains with me is Antarctica, for it is truly special.

I’m drawn to slow, intentional travel that allows me to truly connect with a place. I prefer small group adventures or solo explorations, as they provide the flexibility to follow my curiosity and dive deep into the heart of a destination. For me, travel is not about ticking boxes. It's about collecting moments and real experiences. This is the philosophy that I live by when curating journeys for my clients.

I have a boundless enthusiasm for the unknown. I believe every place, no matter how small or remote, has a story waiting to be uncovered. I'm constantly on the look out for the extraordinary in everyday interactions, that what will make my clients trip the best it can be.

For me, travel isn’t just a hobby or a job - it’s a way of life, a continuous journey of learning, growing, and connecting with the world.
