John, one of the founders of the UpNext Group, is a passionate traveler and is "intoxicated by the romance of the unusual" (to quote Hemmingway). He's explored remote places like the Sundarbans on the Bay of Bengal, but also found adventure in his own backyard in the wilds of British Columbia, Canada. His travels have taken him all over the world, from the rolling hills of Bangladesh to the rainforests of Costa Rica, the beaches of Roatan Honduras, to scuba off the coast of Cabo San Lucas. With his laptop you may find him in the global cities of Manila, Singapore, Zurich, Barcelona, and Bogota. John's wanderlust is more than a hobby; it's a way of life that continually pushes him beyond his comfort zone to discover the beauty and diversity of the world. He believes that through travel, people can grow more connected.
