About Us

Adventurous Ink uses culture and nature to create deeper connections with ourselves, each other and the rest of the natural world.

These vital connections are the stuff of life, but are missing from many modern lives.

We are trapped in our bubbles, cut us off from the things that truly matter, the things that give us hope, meaning and resilience.

With deep roots in the natural world, our founder, Tim Frenneaux - an acknowledged 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.

Adventurous Ink was born in 2017 to make it easy for folk to discover great travel, nature and adventure writing.

Then, in 2024, we added popular philosophy books to our selections when we realised this was about everyone, not just ourselves.

So here we are now, a tiny band of rebellious outsiders finding hope, meaning and connection in the world.

Be great to have you with us.
