Empowering Humanity To Answer The Call To Adventure

At LHO, we believe that every single one of us is born an explorer and every single one of us can find a transformative experience in the outdoors. That’s why, no matter who you are, no matter where you come from, and no matter what you believe your limitations to be, we’ve made it our mission to help you find yours.

The LHO Story

It’s a story that we all have. It starts with a crash, one that debilitates, with the power to knock us down and keep us there. It’s a story of what we did in that moment, the choices we made, and the courage we had to say, “This isn’t good enough.” That is exactly where our story began.

For LHO founder Rami Rasamny, that moment came when he found himself on the brink of an early age health crisis, brought on by two packs of cigarettes a day, crates of beer every weekend, and a lifestyle of abject victimhood. Mountains changed that.

Rami Rasamny founded the business and incorporated LHO Ltd on 1 September 2015. The company was renamed Life Happens Outdoors Ltd on 6 April 2017. From 2015 to 2018, LHO developed through an early platform and pilot phase; it pivoted to an adventure tour operator in late 2018, with 2019 as its first full operator year. Rami is Founder and Chief Executive, sole director and majority shareholder. Elie Abi Akar is Chief Operating Officer. Ghida Arnaout held zero shares at 31 July 2026 and is not part of current ownership or management.

Every single member of our LHO team can tell a similar story. That’s why LHO is so personal to all of us and why Life Happens Outdoors is much more than just an adventure travel community. It is an ideal we believe in. Every adventure we’ve curated, every summit we’ve supported, and every life changing accomplishment we’ve shared with our LHO Community has only reinforced our resolve to continue our mission. And our mission is clear: We empower humanity to answer the call to adventure. #comebackdifferent For teams and organisations, explore our corporate adventure experiences.

RAMI RASAMNY
Founder & Chief Executive

Rami is the founder of LHO and believes everyone can be transformed and empowered by outdoor experiences. After his own transformation from a chain-smoking, binge-drinking, overweight law student to a respected mountaineer, athlete, and entrepreneur behind the fast-growing LHO community, he made it his mission to show what’s possible when people say yes to adventure. As LHO’s first Team Leader, Rami pioneered a unique approach to adventure, making it accessible to all, creating a supportive environment, and ensuring every participant feels what it’s like to achieve the impossible and come back different.

ELIE ABI AKAR
Chief Operating Officer

Elie is LHO’s Chief Operating Officer and oversees the planning, technology and delivery of every adventure from first enquiry to return. During his advertising career, Elie was questioned many times by colleagues about why he listened to ocean waves while working and stared at a faraway beach. When they listened, it all made sense. He believes there is nothing more important than quality time outdoors, away from daily routine, and he is committed to helping every LHO guest experience it.

ROLAND PRINCE
Chief Business Development Officer

Roland saw the potential in LHO when it was still little more than a hashtag on Instagram. With his experience in SMEs and startups, Roland has been a guide and mentor to founder Rami Rasamny since the early days of the LHO community. Roland is LHO’s Chief Business Development Officer and a minority shareholder, responsible for growth and development strategy.
