⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hey, I’m Ross 👋🏻
I started Roam with Ross to inspire more people to get outdoors and explore the incredible adventures on their doorstep and around the world.
From hiking trails to mountain climbs and scenic drives, I’ve travelled the world chasing adventure, recently back from climbing Kilimanjaro, and now I help others do the same through custom travel guides and itineraries.
Planning the NC500 can feel overwhelming, there’s so much to see and you don’t want to miss the best bits. That’s where I come in.
I’ve helped over 900 travellers save hours of research, travel stress-free and plan unforgettable Scotland trips (and many more across the UK).
