Escapaholic
My name is Tom... and I am an escapaholic
Escapaholics don’t just want a holiday – they want to escape work and be thrown headlong in into an adventure. They want to see the cultural sites – for that ‘insta’ moment but they want to fill their day with all the other stuff as well. The fun stuff. They want to be annoyed by their hosts. They want pointless challenges, and they want to emerge from that ‘wind tunnel’ of adventure, arrive back at work and think….”Wow.”Tom Finchett

Vietnam
Hmmm. Probably our favourite event. I don’t know – they are all amazing, but I (Tom) have always loved India ever since I caught malaria there back in 1993. From the most amazing home in Delhi of the majestic and colonial Maidens Hotel, to exploring the back streets of Old Delhi by bike as the city wakes up; visiting ShikshaRath slum school, and the heading to the foothills of the Himalaya. Exploring the region, enjoying some challenges and then heading in to the mountains, trekking through rhododendron forests and towards the mighty peaks. This just has a bit for everyone.

Borneo
The fee for adventuring in Borneo is payable per an escapaholic.
Remember that this covers the whole adventure, support and logistics together with the all inclusive lead up and cool down after the event.
At escapaholics, responsibility to the environment, the local population and charities, is core to our being. A portion of your fee is shared with the local Iban tribes and paid via the outreach of the regional Iban Long House. This helps with inter-tribal relations whilst bring a source of income and reason for the Iban to protect this pristine rainforest, and so protect the wildlife and Orangutan.

Testimonials
Safe, fun and
exciting
“Very cool experience, we were two adults and one 10-year-old and we all absolutely loved it. I liked the fact that you’re alone after the first area. Done very well, very exciting and quite scary at points. Loved the “extreme” part with the climbing wall. I would definitely do it again!”

Wherever you are in the East or South East you’ll find it’s easy to access one of our four activity centres in Essex. Then it’s all about the choices that matter. Most centres have very similar activities while some centres also specialise in a specific outdoor discipline.
