ABOUT US
HOW DISCOVER ADVENTURE CAME TO BE
AN INTERVIEW WITH JONATHAN BRYAN, FOUNDER & MD
Pre Discover Adventure: After failing most of my A Levels my parents dropped me at Portsmouth Harbour (a quick caveat - they didn't abandon me in disappointment, I asked them to!) and from there I began hitchhiking. First through France, then Spain, Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. I almost ran out of money but luckily found a yacht looking for crew to sail to Australia (as you do). This lead to an amazing 5 month trip via the Red Sea and Indian Ocean.
I then worked and travelled around Australia and South East Asia before arriving home 18 months later to take a course in Cartography.
1994: I decided I wanted to start my own adventure travel business and being a keen mountain biker I decided to start a mountain biking holiday company (that's the one and only time you'll see 'holiday' mentioned on this site!)
1995: I was approached at a travel show by a major UK charity, Macmillan Cancer Support, to do a fundraising cycle trip to Morocco! We ran the trip, successfully....
Present day: I'm proud to say that we still work with Macmillan today. Discover Adventure has enabled many thousands of people to complete adventures of a lifetime and to raise well over £100million for the causes they care about. Now in our 30th year, we've never looked back!
