Tilt - 2025

I’m really proud to share my story with TILT – The Inclusive Luxury Traveller.
In this piece, I talk about my life in adventure, the accident that changed everything, and why I founded Makingtrax to prove that inclusion and adventure are not opposites. From wild rivers to global advisory work, this is about redesigning systems, shifting attitudes, and making space for more people to experience real adventure.
