Adventure Together was founded on the idea of bringing the world into the lives of people who often wonder what lies beyond their horizon.
Our mission is to share the stories of different cultures, peoples, and places, whilst promoting an ethical, sustainable, and cruelty-free lifestyle.
Explore
With a fervent enthusiasm for adventure and an unyielding desire for exploration, the founder of Adventure Together, Al Marriott, also known as “Lookout” within the hiking community, has spent nearly twenty years traversing the globe while living in various countries.
In 2020, Al commenced sharing videos detailing his experiences while residing in Thailand, where he embarked on exploring and documenting a country that was devoid of tourists due to the prevailing Coronavirus pandemic.
Subsequently, Al has set his sights on the Triple Crown of Hiking. He has now trekked over 5000 miles on two of the world’s most challenging long-distance trails: The 2200-mile Appalachian Trail and the 2655-mile Pacific Crest Trail. He will take on the 3100-mile Continental Divide Trail in 2024 and upon successful completion of this trilogy, Al would join an elite group of fewer than 700 hikers to have achieved this feat.
In addition, Al will continue to document his adventures and endurance challenges as he aims to visit all of the world’s countries.
Record
With a passion for photography and storytelling, Adventure Together dedicates a significant portion of its content to integrating these two elements. Our YouTube videos showcase landscapes, flora, and fauna captured in vivid detail through a blend of photography and video. In addition to visual content, Al provides in-depth reflections and experiences through written pieces and podcasts.
The Trail Therapy podcast features guests who share their personal stories of finding peace and healing in nature. Initiated to raise awareness about mental health and the therapeutic effects of nature, Trail Therapy aims to inspire and encourage others.
The companion podcast, ‘Trail Therapy: After Dark’, co-hosted by fellow Appalachian Trail hiker, Griff (a.k.a. Low Gear), offers a more casual exploration of the hosts' lives, guest stories, and discussions on current events within and beyond the hiking community.
Al currently writes blog posts about his hiking experiences on The Trek website.
Advocate
Our brand ethos prioritises environmental sustainability, mental health awareness, and veganism.
Veganism advocates for the avoidance of cruelty and exploitation towards animals to the greatest extent possible. We wish to promote a lifestyle of compassion and benevolence towards all living beings. As there is no humane way to kill an animal, we implore people to adopt a lifestyle that avoids using them for any human purposes.
The Trail Therapy podcast is dedicated to promoting mental health awareness and advocating for the benefits of professional therapy, along with the benefits of spending time in nature.
We are committed to ensuring our products reflect our values through the use of sustainable materials and support for fair labor practices.
Our ultimate goal is to support causes that protect our world and its inhabitants, with potential plans for a foundation to provide financial assistance to various international organizations.
“Al Marriott is an adventurous guy, travelling worldwide to satisfy an urge to wander and record his journeys. He is a natural storyteller and shares some poignant moments out there.”
