THE ADVENTURER
James’s greatest passion is to go explore the world in a way that challenges assumptions and changes perspectives. He does this by undertaking daring journeys full of unexpected stories that amaze and inspire.
He has trekked into the frozen wilds of Alaska for Discovery Channel’s hit series, ‘Gold Rush Trail’ (2017), and risked life and limb living through the world’s most deadly weather for the BBC & UKTV’s ‘Hurricane Man’ (2019).
However, “the most mind-blowing journey” of his life so far had James hitchhike his way 6000 miles across South America with no mobile phone, no credit card and no money whatsoever. Discovery’s 6-part series, ‘Free Ride’ (2016), tested James’s survival skills and ingenuity to the limit but more than that it showcased the extraordinary kindness of strangers who repeatedly helped him on his way.
Now he is determined to lead the world’s first fossil fuel free adventure series on his mission to get a grip on the realities of the climate crisis and find those inspirational people leading the way with local solutions to the environmental issues we face.
