A True Explorer
Affectionately known as B&R’s Indiana Jones, Tom has visited 40 countries, lived in six, and has a finely honed sense of how to knock travellers’ socks clean off the continent. Tom’s odysseys (his word, not ours) are known for being 97% life-giving… 3% crazy. (Warning: may reverse aging.)

One of the best things about working with B&R is that we also work with so many amazing locals, be they guides, experts, vintners, taxi drivers, hoteliers... This is bar-none the ultimate way to get to know a region: make friends, ask questions, listen closely, repeat.

Accolades
There is nothing standard about what Tom does; it is always above and beyond. As a Trip Designer, Tom planned the most magical trip to Nepal for us, made possible because of the volume of his inside knowledge. The trip suited us perfectly. And as a guide, he has the maturity to share a kaleidoscope of views, geography, and historic importance. Layers of knowledge and experience ooze from Tom over the course of a trip, enhancing every minute on the road.
- Jan and Brad, Seattle, WAWe were lucky enough to have Tom as our guide on an amazing visit to Bhutan and did not hesitate to ask him to design a Bespoke five-country trip to southern Africa. His understanding of our needs, deep knowledge of the destinations and passionate commitment to creating a very special experience are truly awesome! And his relationships with local experts on the ground enabled him to create an itinerary that was, quite simply, unique.
