David Watts, Tour Leader & Logistics
After graduating from Edinburgh with a masters degree in geography, Dave was keen to visit the places that he had been studying and took a job in at a trekking company.

Further trips have taken him skiing in Kashmir and Georgia, trekking in Jordan, Oman, Romania and Albania as well as visiting Southern Africa, Iran and Pakistan. Dave is also a keen photographer and has had his images published in an atlas, guidebooks and national newspapers including the Guardian, the Metro and the Financial Times.

Having escaped from an office job in her 20's, Sara spent time volunteering on a Kibbutz in Israel, backpacking through Europe, Egypt, Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia, working and travelling in Australasia, and finally returned home to the UK to study for a degree in Tourism Management. With this under her belt she led adventure tours in Southeast Asia for Kumuka Expeditions, lived and worked in the Swiss Alps for 2 years, spent a year working in outdoors education, and then returned to office life for Explore Worldwide, where she worked in Product Support. Sara now joins Wild Frontiers to work in logistics. To contact Sara please write to sara@wildfrontiers.co.uk.
Tom Skipwith, Tour Leader & Logistics
As a baby being taken around India by his travel-crazed parents, the adventure bug was firmly embedded and a nomadic soul was born. Starting his career in the outdoor environment industry, predominantly working with the young people of tomorrow, it seemed that although dynamic and challenging the opportunities to travel were limited. Always craving new people and new places, Tom gravitated into the adventure travel world and over the last few years has worked as guide and tour leader for a number of charity travel firms. As a full time member of the Wild Frontiers team, Tom could be found behind a computer screen in the office in London or exploring whichever amazing destinations he has been sent on assignment to. If you would like to contact Tom, please write to tom@wildfrontiers.co.uk.
Emma Place, Office and Admin
After spending a year back-packing around China, Southeast Asia and Australasia, Emma worked in an office until she could get away again, travelling this time to the countryside of Shikoku island in Japan to teach English for a year and a half. Returning to the UK she was very keen to get into the travel industry and so approached Wild Frontiers who were only too pleased to take her on. Emma is now the WF receptionist, helps out with office admin etc and is sure to become an important player in our team. To contact Emma, please write to info@wildfrontiers.co.uk
