Ambassadors
Our Ambassadors
Iona Rendall
Our first ambassador and who better than the lovely Iona, she’s everything we stand for at Yugen Explore. She’s friendly, lovely and genuinely wants to make a difference to peoples lives. Her group ‘Iona’s Adventures’ inspires people to get outdoors more and make new friends with the goal of improving physical and mental well being. We thought it was only logical that she should be our very first choice and we are proud to have her on board. Make sure you check out our awesome interview to find out more about her and follow her adventures on Instagram @iona.adventuring
Dom Simmons
Dom is an avid traveller, he is a genuine, passionate and down to earth Explorer. From an early age he’s been lucky enough to travel the world as well as volunteering in Fiji and living in Australia. After his first solo adventure, Dom got the travel bug and knew that travelling had changed his perspective on life. The only thing now on his mind was TRAVEL! With no regrets he left his job and jetted off around the world. Since then his list of places to visit has become never ending and has a mission to tick them off one by one! After documenting his travels he decided that like us he wanted to inspire more people to travel. He lives by the motto ‘If you don’t like it, change it!’ We love having Dom on board to help our mission of inspiring people to travel and make the most of life. Check out his travels @doms_discoveries
Pete Crossland
Our awesome photographer and adventure friend, best known for our collaboration with the Peak District hiking meetup, where 88 people turned up! He’s a great guy who knows the Peak District like his back garden, we feel lucky to have collaborated with him. Check out his Instagram and fantastic photography @petecrossland
Jamie Miranda
Jamie is an everyday adventurer. He is one of those guys that gets an idea into his head and just runs with it… literally! During lockdown he took up running and is now taking on epic running challenges pushing himself to his limits. With many epic adventures under his belt including crossing Norway by walking across an Arctic Plateau and skiing over frozen lakes!
Lukas
Lukas is our youth ambassador and he is more adventurous than most adults that I know! He’s an eleven-year-old mountaineer, climber, explorer and adventurer. In his spare time he drags his parents on outdoor adventures, he loves wild swimming and basically anything outdoors.
Jeni
Jeni, or as she is better known as ‘A Peak District Mum’ is all about the family adventures and taking her little girl on adventures in the Peak District. She is totes Yugen and stands for everything we represent at Yugen Explore. She is one of the nicest people you’ll meet and she genuinely wants to help and encourage more people to get outdoors. She loves hiking in the Peak District and would be more than willing to give you advice on camping, wild swimming or hiking around the Peaks… just drop her a message!
