Stories from
the edge of
the world
Shark diving in South African chum-water, quad racing the dunes of Dubai, free-falling over the Mediterranean, a curated archive of Eddie’s most exhilarating excursions around the globe.
Every entry here started the same way: a plane ticket, a local guide who knew better than I did, and a moment where turning back would have been the sensible choice. What follows is not a bucket list. It is a field notebook, written from inside the cage, the harness and the balloon basket, with the tips, outfitters and honest warnings you will want before you book your own.
