To ensure we have a greater understanding

More than a brand, more like a mantra.

explmore is a community driven adventure lifestyle brand mantra. It was founded on the original overland adventure story, and book, Strangers Like Angels - With a Devil or Two to Boot by Alec and Jan Forman.

During their life changing adventure Alec and Jan not only witnessed the delights of rugged landscapes and captivating scenery, but they experienced the warm kindness and humbling hospitality of many strangers. Their experiences had a profound impact on their initial understanding of the world and broadened their perspective outside their familiar surroundings.
‍
We firmly believe that life with exploration, whether that be locally or afar, is essential to our understanding for each other and for our precious planet — which together enables progression. That is why we created and promote the explmore mantra:

Explore more of the world, engage with others, and embrace global cultures.

Explore more of the world

Each of us has an innate sense of curiosity and wonder about the world. From the moment we took our first breath, we began our individual journeys to explore more of this world and beyond. Engagement with new people and places helps us to learn and grow as humans.

Engage with others

Adventuring is never a solo venture. Travel creates moments of vulnerability and opportunities for kindness between strangers like no other. With openness and intention, engagement with others can overcome language and cultural barriers to find mutual respect—and even lifelong friendships.
