We’re The Adventurists

We’re fighting to make the world less boring. Our planet used to slap us about the face-cheeks with iron fists of adventure every day.  Maps had edges to walk off. Whole continents lay undiscovered.

But now, the entire surface of the Earth has been scanned by satellites and shovelled into your mobile phone, tagged with twattery about which restaurant serves the best mocha-latte-frappeshite.

We live to find ways to make the world a bit more difficult. To bring chaos into our over-sanitised lives.  To create adventures where you don’t know what will happen tomorrow or if you’ll even make it.

Because we think there’s no greater moment than those seconds as you leap into an abyss of uncertainty and disaster.

£8 million for charity so far…

Back in 2013 we were pondering how to actually save the world a bit. Then it hit us like a well-polished brogue to the nuts: “we must save every rainforest in the world so future generations have somewhere to get stuck…and can also breathe.”  Not because we’re tree hugging basket weavers, but because the world would be shit without them.  It’s not just about carbon, the point is rainforests are indescribably excellent.

We discovered an organisation that was already doing rather a good job protecting more rainforest than the UN and all other nation-states on earth – Cool Earth.  They are quite literally saving the world.  So we made them our official charity and every team raises £500 to help them save the rainforests.

The Institute of Adventure Research

We hand our research and development over to the unreasonably grand sounding I.O.A.R. Basically it’s a loose band of dickheads flapping about the corners of the earth in search of chaos and adventure.

Led by Adventurists founder Mr Tom and Chief Guinea Pig Mr Buddy, it’s a little hard to fathom what’s coming next. In fact it’s often quite hard to tell what’s already happened. But it’s safe to assume it was in some way stupid.

Some illustrious history

The History

Way back in the year 2002 the seeds of the Adventurists were sewn. Since then we’ve spewed forth all manner of chaos. Some still rattle around the globe today, others have been put on a shelf for a rainy year to see if we might resurrect them. Others still have been locked in the box of terrible ideas that lost money hand over fist.

Have a look at this page to get a sense of what we’ve been up to over the years.

Who’s doing all this?

Founded by a plonker called Tom the The Adventurists has grown into the planet’s greatest purveyor of chaos and adventure.

We’re now a veritable team of folks beavering away. Some full time, some more ephemeral. Working in most corners of the globe to save us all from the tyranny of the modern World.

There’s a core team of folks partially working out of a City in the UK called Bristol and then an army of people who join from time to time. At some points in the year we swell our ranks to over 500 people and at others we shrink back to a tiny team squirrelled away in a dark corner.

If you’re awesome at what you do, perhaps you’d like to join us?

The Adventurists Privacy Policy


We only store and share the data we need to give you the adventure you bought from us or use the service you wanted to use for as long as you want to make use of it.

Well, in truth, we sell your data to criminals as soon as you land on the site. By the time you read this you’ll have already had your identity cloned. You probably weren’t making the most of it anyway if someone can borrow part of it.

You can delete yourself at anytime and then you won’t need to worry about your privacy.

If for some reason you’ve got so much free time you actually want to read something boring here is the legal shittwittery we probably nicked from a website selling coloured stationary so we don’t get fined by the EU. Which would probably never happen. Like Brexit. But if I were you I would take a fork and stab out your eyeballs instead. Like Brexit.
