NIK COOPER
—Raised in the heart of Lincolnshire's rolling countryside in England, Nik's wanderlust finally got the better of him after 8 years working for creative advertising agencies in London, managing online, TV and print projects for multinational clients across a wide range of industries.
Travels through the US, Europe and Africa finally led to a chance meeting with Niel during a 6 months sojourn in the French Alps - single handedly running a VIP chalet - and the discovery of a shared passion for authentic travel, the fine art of dinner parties, anything to do with mountains, and loud music...
From arid deserts to steamy wildernesses, Nik has an endless desire to explore and engage in all that the world has to offer. Seldom seen on trips without his guitar, personal highlights include playing on the banks of the Irrewaddy, and serenading reindeer (and guests) in a Sami teepee in Northern Lapland underneath the shimmering Aurora Borealis.
