Momentum x AMEX

WE BELIEVE THAT FREEDOM IS FOUND IN THE OUTDOORS

We’ve spent 30 years adventuring around the globe to uncover life-changing experiences in remote and undiscovered locations for our private clients. Which means we know the best spots to dive for oysters on the Wild Coast of South Africa. Can take you for coffee in Iceland’s deepest ice caves. Know the right people to navigate you through the wild mountain passes of Bhutan.

All these incredible moments have taught us one thing: time spent in the outdoors brings unadulterated joy.

A joy that we think everyone has the right to experience. Which is why we’re opening up our black book for the first time, to share our view of the world with you. And hopefully inspire you to get out into it and find your own joy.
