WHo We Are
Chris Sutton
“I would love to take in Lands End to John O’Groats. I love camping and hiking, and I suppose I was born to, with no less than three scout leaders among my grandparents. For me though, nothing beats variety. Who wants to be typecast? I want to watch wild bird migrations as much as I want to jump out of planes. Well. Nearly as much. “
Baldeep Singh bhatia
“Hello fellow adventurers! I'm a passionate traveller with an insatiable itch for exploration and adventure. From immersing myself in diverse cultures to indulging in exotic cuisines, my wanderlust knows no bounds. But where my heart truly races and my spirit soars is amidst the majestic beauty of mountains and forests. I love high altitude so my recent treks include Stok-kangri at 20500ft, Everest Base Camp, Annapurna Base Camp, Markha Valley, Sar Pass and Kedarnath, India. I have hiked the highest peaks in England and Wales, and cant wait to summit Ben Nevis, Scotland.”
Rosie Maguire
“Us Kiwis are tucked away in the corner of the world but that doesn’t stop us wanting to get out and explore. By the time I was 11, I had traveled through four continents for my Dad’s teaching work. In my 20s I backpacked solo throughout Europe and Asia. When I turned 30 I moved to Germany, to live in a new culture and learn the language. Now I am experiencing life in the UK. I believe adventure is more than just going to cool places and meeting new people. It is the challenge, pushing your own limits and finding out what you’re made of.”
Alex Avery
“I’m a simple creature. Some good red wine and castles would be ideal. My perfect adventure would be slow. Something Roman or something where I can cycle in nature - maybe I’ll test myself on the Tour De France route. Probably, cycling to Italy is the perfect adventure for me. “

HOW IT BEGAN
Driven by a desire for a well-rounded, immersive experience that considers both time and budget, we set out to create a platform that encapsulates the essence of adventure. Our aim is to provide individuals with the means to pursue fulfilling, diverse and achievable experiences. In doing so, we hope to facilitate a journey that resonates with the individual and creates connection, fulfillment, and purpose along the way.
HOW IT CONTINUED
In the hustle of daily life, we found that many wish for more adventure but feel constrained by time, money, and energy. More and more people are seeking authentic experiences tailored to our style, steering clear of generic tourist spots. Some are eager to find a community for shared adventures, but don't know where to look. We've created a one-stop platform to tackle these challenges and help people embrace adventure on their terms.
We are working with a highly skilled team of developers and graphic designers, along with our own team; Creative Director, Rosie Maguire; Commercial Director, Alex Avery and Business Development Executive, Baldeep Bhatia-Singh. We are greatly appreciative of the support from friends, family, professionals and the community, including the tireless work and experience of our business advisor, Barrie Pierpoint, to put forward a product that is built for the adventurer in all of us.
Time is a precious commodity, and planning an adventure can be overwhelming. Wannoo aims to simplify the process by bringing together festivals, cultural events, challenges, trails, tours, and stays in one place, catering to various budgets, interests, and styles. It's all about making the most of your time and crafting a personalised adventure just for you.
Everything, all in one.
