Amy Yates

Profession:

Extreme Athlete, Wellness Coach, Yoga Instructor

Hi, I’m Amy. I’m an ultramarathoner, trail runner, and mountain athlete with a love for pushing limits in some of the world’s most incredible landscapes. I’ve run ultras across Mexico, England, and Guatemala and climbed peaks like Pico de Orizaba. Whether you’re gearing up for your first endurance event, planning a long-distance trail run, or just looking to balance adventure with recovery, I’m happy to share my experience.

For me, the outdoors is about movement, challenge, and mental clarity.

I grew up in Yorkshire, where I spent my childhood running through the countryside, hiking with my grandad, and learning to appreciate the quiet power of nature. As I traveled, I realized that no matter where I was in the world, the mountains, forests, and trails always felt like home. Running, climbing, and pushing myself physically became not just a passion, but a way of life.

Cameron Giammalva

Profession:

Professional Guide

Hi, I’m Cameron! For me, the best way to connect with a place is to move through it—whether that’s hiking, cycling, or even a long city walk that turns into an adventure of its own. I’ve been guiding and exploring for over a decade, and my favorite trips always come down to the same thing: finding the perfect balance between effort and awe.

I connect to new places through the outdoors—whether it’s hiking a national park, cycling the countryside, or just walking through a city. With years of experience exploring and guiding across New Zealand, Croatia, the U.S., and beyond, I love helping people plan active adventures that go beyond the usual routes. If you’re heading to New Zealand’s South Island, the Dalmatian Coast, or iconic U.S. national parks like Yellowstone or Yosemite, I’ve got you covered.

Professional Guide, Trip Research & Design

Hi, I’m Maureen. I grew up in Idaho with the mountains and rivers as my playground, which led me to a career in adventure travel. I’ve spent over a decade guiding and designing outdoor experiences across Ireland, Indonesia, Hawaii, and the U.S. Southeast. Whether it’s cycling quiet backroads in County Kerry, hiking jungle trails in Bali, or paddling Hawaii’s coastline, I love helping travelers find the best outdoor experiences.

The outdoors has shaped every chapter of my life. Growing up in Boise, Idaho, I was lucky to have nature at my doorstep. I spent my childhood exploring the foothills and rivers, always drawn to the feeling of freedom that comes with moving through a landscape. That love for the outdoors eventually led me to guiding, where I’ve spent years helping others experience the beauty of adventure travel firsthand.
