About Us

Adventurous Ink uses culture to craft connections with ourselves, each other and the rest of the natural world.
Because these vital connections are missing from our busy modern lives.
We are trapped in our bubbles, cut us off from the things that truly matter. The things that can give us hope, meaning and resilience.
That's why we curate seasonal selections of books that help us meet the moment.
Rooted in the natural world, our founder Tim Frenneaux - now a recognised thought leader on sustainable living and regenerative futures - started out in 2015 selling sustainable outdoor gear.
Eventually he realised that what people really needed to make the most of their time out there was inspiration and insight, not more gear.
So, Adventurous Ink was born in 2017 to make it easy for folk to discover great travel, nature and adventure writering.
Then in 2024, a fresh pivot to reflect the times and introduce leading thinkers about the human condition into our selections whilst slowing down and shifting to a seasonal shipping regime to give time for the books to really settle in.
So here we are now, this tiny band of rebellious outsiders finding hope, meaning and connection in the world and it's words.
Be great to have you with us.
