Our experience with Mark was outstanding! Each day brought new adventures enriched by his deep knowledge and infectious enthusiasm. From hiking to remote jungle waterfalls to learning about syntropic farming and connecting with local communities, every moment was unforgettable. Mark’s passion for the land and people truly shines!

Working with Mark means I can concentrate on teaching. I know my students safety and logistics are secure! He adds immense value to my field courses. His respectful working relationships with indigenous communities create incredible learning opportunities. Furthermore, he is skilled in managing group dynamics, ensuring the safety and inclusive participation of all my students, regardless of their physical ability. I can’t imagine doing field classes in Panama with anybody else.

Exploring Panama with my dad and Mark was life-changing. We felt we'd discovered a new world from the rainforest to vibrant, remote communities. Mark’s guidance pushed us beyond our comfort zones, creating a once-in-a-lifetime bonding experience I wish everyone could have. He’s genuinely one of a kind.
