Kathryn’s Thoughts on AdventureX

“The trip as a whole was just incredible. Setting it up as a mystery adds even more excitement. Greenland is a place which very few people have visited or even live. Every day was something different and unique.

Spending time travelling and forming a connection with not only the environment you’re in but with the group I’ve been a part of is the biggest takeaway for me that I will ponder and think differently about how I approach these type of adventures in the future. I’d hugely value the opportunity to come back because I think this is an environment that’s going to change in the coming years.

Matt and Chris are both incredible individuals, both unique in their own respects. I think they complement each other really well. We’ve spent a lot of time not only out doing some physically challenging things but we’ve also spent time pondering from an intellectual and spiritual perspective and they bring a well rounded and balanced perspective through both of their personalities.

It’s incredible to see some of the individual paths that they’ve been on in their own lives and they’ve been very open and transparent in sharing and I’ve really respected and appreciated that. The other thing that stands out for me is that although they’ve been the organisers of the trip and in some respects, leaders, they’ve never actively taken a leadership role or authority of the group. We’ve really gelled together and they’ve seen themselves as much participants as leaders which is quite unique.

For others interested in doing an adventure like this, I think just dive in. There’s obviously quite a lot of mystery to what you’re signing up to. We’ve talked a lot about operating from the head and the heart and the gut. If your heart and gut are saying yes this is something that I want to step into and challenge myself, I would say just go for it and let the mystery unfold as it does along the way.”

The sun rises to illuminate one of the planet’s last remaining frontiers. A kingdom of ice in this Arctic wilderness. It’s hard to put into words what it’s like here, even the photos don’t do it justice. It’s one of these places you have to visit to truly experience and appreciate it all.

The whole place is very much alive, an ever-evolving landscape that you can see breathe and move and change in real time. It’s area that is changing far more rapidly than other areas of the planet. A true treasure. 🇬🇱

Those that come away with us on AdventureX trips h

Those that come away with us on AdventureX trips have generally ticked almost all of the boxes society suggests is the way to live your life and achieve “success”. That doesn’t mean there aren’t still challenges because there are many…

Many of those who attend are thinking about their way to or are in the process of climbing their “second mountain” or in some cases their third or fourth.

If you haven’t read it already “The Second Mountain” is a great book by David Brooks and one that’s well worth reading regardless of where you are on your journey. Here’s a little bit about it…

“Every so often, you meet people who radiate joy—who seem to know why they were put on this earth, who glow with a kind of inner light. Life, for these people, has often followed what we might think of as a two-mountain shape. They get out of school, they start a career, and they begin climbing the mountain they thought they were meant to climb. Their goals on this first mountain are the ones our culture endorses: to be a success, to make your mark, to experience personal happiness. But when they get to the top of that mountain, something happens. They look around and find the view . . . unsatisfying. They realize: This wasn’t my mountain after all. There’s another, bigger mountain out there that is actually my mountain.

And so they embark on a new journey. On the second mountain, life moves from self-centered to other-centered. They want the things that are truly worth wanting, not the things other people tell them to want. They embrace a life of interdependence, not independence. They surrender to a life of commitment.

Brooks explores the four commitments that define a life of meaning and purpose: to a spouse and family, to a vocation, to a philosophy or faith, and to a community. Our personal fulfillment depends on how well we choose and execute these commitments. He looks at a range of people who have lived joyous, committed lives, and who have embraced the necessity and beauty of dependence. He gathers their wisdom on how to choose a partner, how to pick a vocation, how to live out a philosophy, and how we can begin to integrate our commitments into one overriding purpose.“

“To meet people who live in such remote places and be warmly welcomed into their home is a real eye opener. It can be a harsh environment and therefore tough out there, but they smile, they’re happy, they’re not on devices. It’s really refreshing.” Gav

The people of Bhutan are composed of three main ethnic groups: the Sharchops of the East, the Ngalops of the West and the Lhotshampas in the South. There are a vast number of minority groups as well. Together, they form the indigenous population known as the Drukpas, famed for their rugged strength, ready sense of humour, hospitality and friendliness. #adventurex #people #experiences

Monks, when not in prayer or meditation or chores are often found playing board games, sharing stories, laughing or all three. #adventurex #people #experiences

There’s a lot of so called “special” places out there in the world and a lot of them don’t live up to the hype. This one does though... Tigers Nest in Bhutan perched on the side of a cliff face. Full of energy with stories going back to the 8th Century 🇧🇹 #adventurex #people #experiences

“Holy shit that was unbelievable on all realms.

“Holy shit that was unbelievable on all realms. From the people, experiences, diversity, elements of surprise, to just being in the moment - it was awesome being in that space. It's not 100% cushy, there's areas where it is uncomfortable but I like leaning into those areas of life. Great leadership and thought has gone into this, a lot of caring and a lot of pushing to your limits which is awesome. It’s jam packed and so if you’re into that type of adventure, this is a good one for that. If you’re open to being a learner and growing and sharing with other people, this is a great place to expand and learn about yourself and help other people develop and what better place to do it than in Bhutan! I enjoyed the push as much as the flow." Tony #adventurex #people #experiences

“If you get accepted, you’d be foolish not to come along and if in your gut, you feel this is really something you’d like to do, do it. We have one life to live and it’s experiences like this that make it worthwhile. I’ve loved it and I hope other people can experience it in the same way.” Mike #adventurex #people #experiences

“We had the ability to be present, to think about life a little bit and I think that’s one of the most beautiful moments I had on this trip.

We all felt it as participants, there’s almost a guilt on the participants' end because we know how much care, thoughtfulness and love, their heart and soul is in this trip and you felt it. I think one of the main outcomes of AdventureX is to stretch your boundaries so you realise what’s true discomfort, what’s comfort and feel that variance. Deep down inside, I think people know whether they need to come on one of these trips.” Steve #adventurex #people #experiences

“It’s hard to put into words how great a trip

“It’s hard to put into words how great a trip it was, I’ve been riding for 30 years and it’s the best riding I’ve ever had. Just put your trust in Matt who’s a great leader and Chris and their team that backs them because they really have done the homework here and care for you throughout the adventure. It’s far surpassed what I could have imagined, I’d say just do it! Just dive in!" Scott #adventurex #people #experiences

“I think it’s a tremendous experience and if you have the opportunity to take the trip, you definitely should. I was going to say it’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing but I plan on doing it again, so I’d say it’s a must-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” Justin #adventurex #people #experiences

“I was up for a challenge and it did not disappo

“I was up for a challenge and it did not disappoint. The amount of work Matt and Chris do for this trip to set the group up for a fantastic experience is just unparalleled. I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s impressive and makes me feel good that they’re willing to do that for a group like us. The little surprises that come one after the other, it’s gets more and more interesting and better and better as time goes on. It was fantastic.” Brian #adventurex #people #experiences

“The relationships we built and the experiences we had over this time was really impactful. I learned that we’re all more capable than we think and I just loved the fact we were able to trek across the country feeling like we were the first ones through. I also loved just spending time with people in a meaningful way.” Mike #adventurex #people #experiences

“I’m really glad that I came along and quite honestly, given some stuff that was going on at work, I was starting to wonder right before the trip if I should come and if it was unreasonable to step away from the business and come and do this but I’m incredibly glad that I did and you know, it was all fine. Work can all wait, my family supported me, life can wait for you to take trips like this.” Justin #adventurex #people #experiences

“I’ve had loads of experiences and been to 50+

“I’ve had loads of experiences and been to 50+ countries multiple times but it’s hard to describe how good it actually is here! For me, I can honestly say, it’s been the best trip of my life, it was simply spectacular. The group, the way they were vetted and the way we all jived was as if we had been friends for years, it was fantastic! We went deep, we had great conversations, we talked about everything, it was an incredible group, of I would say, friends for life which is kind of unique considering some us just met 7 days ago. It just made it a whole lot more fun to just joke around, I think the tribe makes a difference, I’ve loved it. I’ve had a chance to really connect with people, talking to them for hours and hours.” Scott #adventurex #people #experiences

“I had my own specific challenges during this trip but I learned when things seem really tough and difficult, you can get through it. When you look back at the whole experience, I can’t think of anything they could’ve done better and I don’t know if there’s another experience you can have like this in the world frankly.” Brian #adventurex #people #experiences

Festivals or Tshechus are a major part of Bhutanes

Festivals or Tshechus are a major part of Bhutanese life and offer a unique cultural insight into this Himalayan Kingdom. According to Buddhist philosophy, all experiences leave an imprint in the mind stream that produces a corresponding result in the future, and so viewing dances, such as these, that are imbued with sacred symbolism is considered to be a very auspicious and sanctifying experience.

Bhutan is a Buddhist country with a rich and uniqu

Bhutan is a Buddhist country with a rich and unique cultural heritage. People often refer to it as the last stronghold of Tibetan Buddhism. The Buddhism practiced in Bhutan is vibrant and alive and permeates nearly every facet of the Bhutanese life. Dzongs (fortified monasteries), monasteries, stupas, prayer flags, and prayer wheels punctuate the Bhutanese landscape. The chime of ritual bells, sound of gongs and Tibetan-style horns are commonly heard. #adventurex #people #experiences

Buddhism is central to Bhutan's identity. For centuries, Buddhism flourished in relative isolation while the modern world was kept at bay. (Television was not legalised in Bhutan until 1999). #adventurex #people #experiences

Founders of AdventureX, Matt (@mattprioruk) and Chris (@chrisplough) out in nature, doing what they love on a recent trip to Bhutan. 🇧🇹 If you’d like to join us next time on one of our adventures, check out the link in the bio and watch the videos to learn more! We have a few very special experiences lined up for this year. 😎

“Matt and Chris are so different from each other but in such a complimentary way. Matt did such an incredible job curating and planning an amazing trip and paid attention to every single detail and every single contingency and when you do something like this, the reality is you’re most likely halfway across the world doing something that is on the outer bounds of what is in your normal everyday life and you need to be able to have trust and confidence in the person that’s leading it. Matt and Chris really pulled that together. From a group dynamics perspective, Chris just cares so much about everyone in the group and really helped pull this group of strangers and we’re leaving after a week or so as lifelong friends and that’s really a tribute to the two of them.” Mike

“Matt’s willingness to take appropriate risk, experience things and just jump into things is unparalleled. Chris is such a caring and loving person. He worked to understand our personalities and what we were like. He dug in deep in order to make the spiritual and emotional journey what it was.” Brian #adventurex #people #experiences

On our most recent trip to Bhutan, after the video

On our most recent trip to Bhutan, after the video testimonials were complete, we were asked by the group to sit in their seats and answer some questions. With the camera still rolling, they thought it would be good to share so people can learn a little more about us and what it is we do with AdventureX. Part 1 of 2.

AdventureX combines the mastermind concept with unique adventures on a whole new level. We create a trusted space for people to truly bond and connect while exploring comfort zones to gain perspective, overcome challenges and grow, both personally and professionally. Group sizes are small. Each experience has been built from the ground up leveraging our unique access across the globe. All itineraries are kept secret. Spaces are limited to a select few and are open by invite.

We also use these experiences as a catalyst to combine networks and resources for projects that will have a positive impact around the world on both people and the planet. #adventurex

“As you get to a certain age you don’t get the

“As you get to a certain age you don’t get the same opportunity for adventures like this, I had my eye on it for a couple of years and finally decided to pull the trigger. I was looking for something different, something a little more adventurous and to travel in a way that you really can’t get in other places.

The group was really well curated, we immediately hit it off and fell into a really good routine. I also liked the fact you didn’t know what to expect next, it’s so rare in life. We live in a world now where we have our schedules and you know what you’re doing six months, a year out, every week is so well curated and planned for meetings and family and this and that, you know exactly what’s coming next and what you’re doing. To have an experience where you have no idea what you’re doing is a complete surprise and that is so unique.

I learned that we’re all more capable than we think and I just loved the fact we were able to trek across the country feeling like we were the first ones through and just spending time with people in a meaningful way.

Matt and Chris are so different from each other but in such a complimentary way. Matt did such an incredible job curating and planning an amazing trip and paid attention to every single detail and every single contingency and Chris just cares so much about everyone in the group and really helped pull this group of strangers and we’re leaving after a week or so as lifelong friends and that’s really a tribute to the two of them.

I’m very glad I came along and I can’t believe it’s over. I’d love to do it again. It’s one of those things where it’s hard to take time away from work and hard to take time away from family but looking back it was time well spent, really meaningful and something I will always remember and always look back at in a really fond way.

If you get accepted, you’d be foolish not to come along and if in your gut, you feel this is really something you’d like to do, do it. We have one life to live and it’s experiences like this that make it worthwhile. I’ve loved it and I hope other people can experience it in the same way.”

“I wanted an experience that wasn’t going to be like an experience you were going to get somewhere else, something you learn from and pushes you and is done in a way that you really get to learn about a country with someone who’s highly capable and able to lead you through challenging experiences.

I was initially apprehensive but I immediately got to meet the people from the group and realised they were a lot like me. I expected to have a really interesting experience but I didn’t expect to be around a group of people that was open and talking about stuff going on in their lives and have the ability to connect with people deeply.

Bhutan is such an amazing country and this is really the only way to really see it and get to experience it. One of the great things about this trip is to really push yourself and do some stuff that was a little scary or intimidating at first, knowing that they have the experience to get you out of any situation and deal with anything that came up was incredibly comforting. I’m really glad that I came along and quite honestly, given some stuff that was going on at work, I was starting to wonder right before the trip if I should come and if it was unreasonable to step away from the business and come and do this but I’m incredibly glad that I did and you know, it was all fine. Work can all wait, my family supported me, life can wait for you to take trips like this.

I think it’s a tremendous experience and if you have the opportunity to take the trip, you definitely should. I was going to say it’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing but I plan on doing it again, so I’d say it’s a must-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The thing that made it so enjoyable for me was being open to the people and experiences that you have, I feel I fucking crushed that. That is how I showed up and I think that’s what made it such a great trip.”

Steve’s Thoughts on AdventureX

“By far the biggest theme of this trip is to live in the moment and to focus on the present. And to be in a place like Bhutan where it’s engrained in the culture and the religion and the people, it really hammers home the point and I think we have near zero ability to do that. It’s something we really focussed on, that’s what I’m going to take home.

All the time we had both alone and the quiet moments which you get, is very precious. I think I shared with the group where I had a really good, connected, spiritual moment and I don’t think I’ll ever forget that. We had the ability to be present, to think about life a little bit and I think that’s one of the most beautiful moments I had on this trip.

We all felt it as participants, there’s almost a guilt on the participants’ end because we know how much care, thoughtfulness and love, their heart and soul is in this trip and you felt it.

I think one of the main outcomes of AdventureX is to stretch your boundaries so you realise what’s true discomfort, what’s comfort and feel that variance. Deep down inside, I think people know whether they need to come on one of these trips.”
