Michael

I was born and raised in Suffolk but have also lived in Leeds, London, Australia, Cape Town and now Bristol! I worked at an adventure travel company for nine years before I joined Swoop and have been lucky enough to experience some of the most amazing places our world has to offer.

Travel remains one of my biggest passions, and I now get to enjoy it with my partner and young son. I love how every trip changes you. It broadens your mind, challenges your views and breaks down stereotypes. 

1. Reaching 80.40° North on my first ever trip to the Arctic
2. Soaking up the spectacularly rugged, icy scenery from water level while kayaking
3. Encountering amazing wildlife, including a curious humpback whale, a bearded seal and many, many walruses
4. Feeling the true power of the Arctic while enduring temperatures as low as -8°C
5. Watching two Arctic foxes slinking across the snowy landscape – an unforgettable sight for me

As Swoop Arctic's Operations Manager, I'm responsible for the smooth running of the business. My role is to ensure that our customers have all the support their need, from the moment they make their first enquiry, through to when they return home from their trip.

At Swoop Arctic, we understand what you will need and the questions you may have; we have a great team here and someone will always know the answer.
