A CHRONICLE OF ADVENTURES & MISADVENTURES
BY A MODERN EXPLORER
Using exploration to help foster a more sustainable world through adventure and food.
If Indiana Jones and Martha Stewart had a baby it would be Sophie Hollingsworth.
All about adventure and food, a passion for cooking and the outdoors has always been with her but was galvanized when she moved to Australia and bought a vintage Landcruiser. Deep in the outback, she discovered the beauty of bringing her kitchen to the outdoors.
Soph's passion for expeditions off the beaten track have led her to undertake uncharted treks and far-flung adventures most deem too inhospitable; including everything from descending uncharted rivers in Madagascar, desert transect treks in Namibia, and to living with indigenous communities in the Republic of Vanuatu to conduct ethnographic research and sailing across the Pacific Ocean.
Snapper on a Stick
On a recent solo four-wheel drive expedition across Australia, I was determined to nourish myself without the convenience of a kitchen or the ability to Google recipes. What initially felt like restraints, provided an opportunity for creativity to flourish and unconventional fire based cooking methods to unfold. An outback adventure turned into a taste of Australia and the concept for Kitchen(less) Cooking a platform to inspire people to cook and eat in the outdoors was borne.
