“Our resident coffee Barista/Team Leader/Head of our community outreach programs sits down to tell us his plans for our Life Happens Outdoors community.”

On this edition of Talking Outdoors we speak to Bader, a certified barista with a passion for adventure who spent the last six years traveling whilst investing in community initiatives that have provided opportunities to the local populations who’ve hosted him. After gaining a wealth of experience, Bader is joining LHO to build and lead experiences that combine epic adventures with giving back to the local communities that host us.

“What I believe is that the Life Happens Outdoors idea behind adventure and community service naturally mesh together especially when we’re talking about first-timers.”

Starting in 2022, you’ll be able to join us on trips like Kilimanjaro and then give back to the very same porters and staff who made that climb possible by enrolling in one of our initiatives built to enhance the upward mobility of the men and women we work with and unlock their long-term potential that is both viable and sustainable.

Bader sits down with LHO founder Rami to talk about this exciting new take on adventure travel and his plans to put sustainability at the core of the LHO community.
