There was a time when trekking holidays for Howard Marks were  more about sorting out supply lines and delivery dates than developing a deeper cultural understanding of the countries and peoples he ‘dealt’ with.

Howard Marks

Well, several years on, he travelled to Pakistan with an independent tour operator known for its pioneering adventures and got a new perspective.

If you’ve never read Mr Nice or spotted Howard on the stand-up circuit, you’ve missed out: his face and anecdotes are evidence of several lives lived! And while for many years he was on the wrong side of the tracks, he’s a captivating speaker, with a genuine love for the undiscovered.

He’s talking on travel – and probably much more – at An Evening of Travel Inspiration with Howard Marks and Guests on November 24^th in London.

His adventures in Pakistan and experiences travelling the globe in his now well-established stand-up comedy role will no doubt make for an interesting night.

Just don’t let him pack your bag before you go through customs…

Tickets for the event are £10, which goes to the Wild Frontiers Foundation to support special projects in some of the most remote regions of the world.
