Guide
Adrian has spent most of his life seaking adventures around the world, from leading treasure hunts in Morocco to skiing in Iran. Adrian has a great love of animals and nature and is one of PolarQuest's true veterans.
Adrian has a Journeyman's Certificate as a cabinetmaker but has spent most of his life adventuring in about 100 countries around the world. As expedition leader and guide, he has led bike tours in the Czech Republic, skiing in Iran, and kayaking outside Manhattan.
He also like to use his camera, as a result of that, National Geographic, among others, have published his photos.
2003 was the first time Adrian visit to Svalbard. The reason he went was to overcome his fear of dogs and to do this he worked one season as a sled dog musher.
Over the years, Adrian has guided for PolarQuest on expeditions to Svalbard and Antarctica, as well as Greenland, North East Passage, Wrangel Island, India, Mongolia, Galapagos, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, South Africa and Namibia, Botswana and Zambia.

Trips with PolarQuest
Svalbard, Antarctica, Galapagos, several ReQuest-trips
All of us on board M/S Quest in May 2023 felt privileged to have experienced the wonders of nature so closely. The midnight sun, polar plunges, polar bears, walruses, icebergs, magnificent eiders, reindeer and polar foxes. The marvellous atmosphere on board gave us memories for life! This trip offered an insight into the fascinating environments of the Arctic and several of us were affected by the so-called "polar bacillus" .
