Stu Darnley

 Stu has spent over 15 years in the travel industry, with a decade focused on selling adventure tours. He began his career as a travel agent and later transitioned to the supplier side with G Adventures. His passion for travel ignited at age 18 on a small group trip to Nepal, and it hasn’t slowed down since.

Among his most unforgettable experiences are expeditions to Antarctica, the Arctic, and Bhutan; driving the length of India in a Tuk Tuk; crossing South America in a moto-taxi; and trekking to some of the world's highest peaks, including Kilimanjaro and Mt. Toubkal (twice each for charity), Meru Peak, and Aconcagua, the tallest mountain in South America. Recently, he completed a trek to the Lost City in Colombia for ABTA Lifeline. Stu has explored 66 countries and looks forward to adding more to his list soon.
