ROLFE OOSTRA Mountaineer at 360 Expeditions
Video
We bought several Go-Pro's and small bomb-proof cameras to allow everyone of our Expedition leaders and Guides to capture the mood of the expedition they were leading. The results were not too shabby even if we do say so ourselves. The Library detailing expeditions from every continent can be found on the link below and on You-Tube and Vimeo.
Writing
My writing has appeared on various web-sites and in magazines and I enjoy a enthusiastic following on social media. My writing is based on diary entries written during 30 years of being on the road and leading expeditions to every corner of the world. Some is deeply personal and can be quite shocking to read whilst other pieces are very funny. Some have called my style "raw and real" which I think reflects the nature of an adventurous enterprise I love to partake in. Hit the link below to read 10 out of the 80 rough drafts for the short stories I have written so far and tell me what you think. The book is being written as you read this!
Inspiration from others
To whilst away the expedition blues I read a lot of books. I read on long-haul flights and sitting out a storm in a tent. For me this is the best way to pass the time and I often find that by reading the stories of others my own situation never seems to be quite as bad. I only read non-fiction. The world is quite a crazy place and the truth is a lot madder than fiction. Enjoy some of the books taken from my bookshelf. I hope you love them as much as I have done.
