A Life of Exploration.
Sean and Emily are world travellers, adventurers and filmmakers whose journeys together have taken them across more than 70 countries on five continents, including every country in Europe. From the Arctic landscapes of Scandinavia to the mountains of Eastern Europe and far beyond, they have spent years building a life around exploration, discovery and extraordinary experiences.
Their latest and most ambitious undertaking is Heading Around, an independent, round-the-world motorcycle expedition and documentary series. Travelling together aboard a single BMW R1300 GS Adventure, without a support crew or backup vehicle, they are crossing continents, discovering unfamiliar cultures and documenting the world on their own terms.
From the towering mountains of Central Asia and the remote landscapes of Tibet to the vast Australian Outback and tropical Southeast Asia, their adventures have become an expanding collection of extraordinary journeys and stories.
Together, they independently produce the films, photography and writing that document their travels. Sean leads filmmaking, cinematography and production, while Emily brings their experiences to life through photography, writing, editing, research and the complex planning behind their global expeditions.
Beyond the remarkable landscapes and thousands of kilometres lies something far more personal: two people choosing to experience the world together, embracing uncertainty, challenging convention and discovering just how extraordinary life can become when you refuse to stop exploring.
Their story is still being written.
