Polar Plunge from Steph (12)

John Newby

Swoop Polar Specialist

John first set foot from the UK, aged 20, on a flight to South Africa. He quickly realised he wanted to visit every country in the world. He found his way to Finland, where he became a fisherman and spent 13 years living under the northern lights, just south of the Arctic Circle. After leaving Finland, John forged a career in travel, before returning to his much-loved snowy roots and speciality: the polar regions.
