About Me

Thank you for visiting my website and showing interest in my work.

I am Gareth, an Englishman from the Peak District, Staffordshire, UK. I live in the Netherlands and work as a Teacher and Outdoor Educator/Coach. I inspire young adults to achieve their potential and develop confidence to be the best they can be.

I love my career and life. I teach five days a week and spend the other two outdoors. I crave fresh air and actively seek enjoyment from the many outdoor pursuits that embrace the beautiful world around me.

As an outdoor enthusiast and educator, I love documenting incredible experiences and encouraging others to get outside and enjoy nature for themselves. I offer various discrete activities, such as plans for regular physical exercise, creative writing, art, self-reflection, and coaching.

I possess extensive knowledge and experience in both classroom and outdoor settings. Therefore, I am eager to share my enthusiasm and expertise through practical activities, resources, workshops, coaching, mentoring, and general advice on utilising the outdoors as a learning tool or to help improve your life and well-being.

If my ideas interest you, please read on or contact me so we can connect.

All the best!

Gareth
