Meet Mike, Salt Escapes Co-Founder and CEO, and the more mischievous half of Mike & Amy.
Originally from Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Mike grew up competing in flat-water and surf-boat rowing, downhill and cross-country skiing and rugby union. With a keen interest in business, he owned and operated one of central London’s most successful fitness studios for 5 years. And because they do everything together, he too, has competed in fitness competitions in London, LA, and Sydney.
Mike’s travels have taken him hiking to the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro, surfing in Fiji, skiing across the French Alps and the Canadian Rockies and van-life-ing across Europe. His favourite travel memory so far is four-wheel driving on the world’s biggest sand island off the east-coast of Australia (Fraser Island/K'Gari).
His passion for adventures, photography, and getting people to step outside their comfort zone, will have you exploring new places and trying new things, with the memories captured on Mike’s trusty camera for you to show everyone back home.
Meet Amy, Salt Co-Founder, and the more organised half of Mike & Amy.
Originally from London, Amy found her love for fitness in the sunshine, living on the golden beaches of Sydney, Australia. Alongside Mike, she owned and operated one of central London’s most successful fitness studios for 5 years, and she has competed in fitness competitions in London, LA, and Sydney.
Amy’s travels have taken her island-hopping around the Mediterranean, rock climbing and kayaking around North Wales, hiking through Costa Rica, and 4-wheel driving across the desert of Abu Dhabi. Her favourite travel memory so far is snorkelling with excited seals in the freezing Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Cape Town.
Her passion for building community and showing that fitness should be fun will have you sweating and smiling under the sunshine, whichever Escape week you join.
