The LHO Community: Embracing Extraordinary Together

At Life Happens Outdoors, we take pride in being a distinctive adventure travel community. Yes, we offer unparalleled experiences to outdoor enthusiasts and yes, we are committed to safety and flawless delivery, but that’s just the packaging. It’s the LHO Community vibes that set us apart from everyone else. Here’s why.

Directly Led By Us

What sets us apart at LHO is that our adventures are directly led by our team of experienced experts. Unlike other groups that may outsource or rely exclusively on local seasonal hires, we ensure that our team leaders deliver the same LHO experience no matter where you are in the world. That’s why you’ll find the same light hearted, fun driven and safe vibe if you’re on the top of the Mont Blanc are at the foot of the Amazon. It’s always the LHO way. It’s always the LHO vibe and it’s always delivered by one of our epic LHO Team Leaders.

Join our adventure community and experience the diverse and inclusive environment we foster. At LHO, we attract a significant number of solo travelers who join our adventures. This creates a unique social dynamic, giving you the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals, forge new friendships, and share memorable experiences. Our inclusive atmosphere makes us the perfect choice for solo travelers seeking adventure while building meaningful connections.

We go beyond being just adventure travel; we cultivate a thriving, inclusive community. We welcome participants from diverse backgrounds, regardless of age, gender, or ethnicity. By embracing diversity and fostering a sense of belonging, we create a safe and supportive environment for all our members, enhancing the overall adventure experience.

Our Local Guides Are Family

We recognize the invaluable contributions of our guides and porters. As a testament to our commitment to excellence, we invest in our guides and local teams by offering opportunities of upward mobility within their fields, sponsoring personal achievements and ensuring that standards of fairness are exceeded at every opportunity. Most importantly, we do it by listening to what they want, rather than act on what we want them to want. A nuisance difference perhaps, but one we find is a high appreciated and distinguished feature of our LHO Community.

Trip Photography

We understand the value of capturing and preserving precious memories. That’s why we offer trip photography on all our regular departures. And when we say photography, we don’t mean selfies on a phone. These are your once in a lifetime memories and we want you to relive these moments through stunning visuals forever.

Home Training & Nutrition Programs

Being ready for an active holiday or a major adventure is important, which is why we go the extra mile by offering home training and nutrition programs. Before embarking on an adventure, you have access to trip-specific training regimens designed to enhance your fitness levels and equip you with the necessary stamina. Additionally, our trip-specific nutrition programs empower you to optimize your performance and well-being throughout your adventure.

Gear Shopping Assistance

We understand that selecting the right gear can be overwhelming, especially for those new to outdoor activities. That’s why we provide gear shopping assistance. Our knowledgeable team offers expert advice to help you choose the appropriate equipment, ensuring you have the right gear for a safe and enjoyable experience. With our personalized assistance, you can feel confident and eliminate the guesswork often associated with gear selection.
