Dan has joined these expeditions:

What skills do you bring to the job?

"Driving boats, looking for whales, juggling and Flamenco guitar."

 

If you could time travel which historic expedition would you join?

"Shackleton's...but not for the obvious reasons. I have spent hundreds of days on boats like the James Caird, and many more on glaciers. This combination is what draws me to places like South Georgia and Antarctica."

"Dress warm and go!"
