Exhibitor Bio
In 1988 a group of friends bounced across the Sahara, along the way two of them discussed a style of group travel that was out of the ordinary; travel that would fully expose people to the good, the bad and the downright weird of the nations they travelled. Adventures that would have all the benefits of independent travel with none of the hassle; small groups travelling at the grassroots level, meeting local people, trying local food and staying anywhere and everywhere! Now, 21 years later, Intrepid takes around 90,000 travellers to over 100 countries worldwide, each and every year. But, just as things have changed, Intrepid’s philosophy has stayed the same − to provide the best value small group adventures in the world.

The Outward Bound Trust of New Zealand is a member of Outward Bound International. This was founded by Kurt Hahn in Wales in 1941. There are 42 member countries. Hahn was an educator. In his words: “We are all better than we know. If only we can come to discover this, we may never again settle for anything less.”
