Nationality: English
Oliver got bit by the travel bug when he was  17. A School funded expedition saw him head off to Russia with a fellow school friend to explore the country. He experienced the major cities and Russian culture and travelled 3000 miles into Siberia on the Trans-Siberian Railway. 
A little over a year later, his inspiration for an adventure GAP year Company was seeded after a 6 month Placement in Tanzania, East Africa. He was teaching African Students English and leading them up Mount Kilimanjaro. 
Later he then had the urge to experience South America, covering the continent in two and a half months, trekking the Inca trail, exploring the Nasca Lines and Hang-Gliding in Rio De Janiero.  Then the corporate world beckoned, but could not contain him, so he bought a 23 year old Bedford campervan and headed off around Europe, Eastern Europe and into Asia via Turkey. When this was over he went back to work, plotting his next trip, South Africa. Followed by South East Asia, Australia and New Zealand. A research trip for Xtreme Gap, ensuring the Xtreme Gap experience would be tried and tested. 
Along the way he trained to become a pilot in South Africa, flying above the Kruger national park keeping an eye on  poachers and wildlife. Then to Thailand to become a divemaster, experiencing many of the adventures that you will find on this site.

 

 

Text Box: Debby Neeskens
Nationality: Dutch
Well let’s see what has Debby been up to?  Until she was 28 she did the ‘normal’ holidays. For example one week skiing in Italy and two weeks of summer holiday in Portugal. She covered almost all of Europe like that. But the big change came when she went skiing in Aspen, Colorado. What an experience, this was her first distant travel experience.
From 2005 she has been travelling all over the world seeking new thrills and adventures: Paragliding in Chile, skydiving in Argentina, learning Spanish in Sevilla, clubbing in beach clubs the world over, Muay Thai training in Asia.  Diving in Indonesia, Thailand and Cambodia. Over landing in Australia.  There is no stopping this girl.
Then there is this big social aspect to her. She loves exploring other cultures and giving something back to them. Her love of children and culture led her to volunteer at Kinderdorpen: an orphanage in Chile. 
With her background as an office manager for several big companies she knows how to organize, make decisions and bring major projects to a perfect end. 
Dreams? Too many to be listed but one she can tell you… She hopes you one day take that big step and go travelling alone to feel just as proud as she felt.

Oliver and Debby, the founders of Xtreme Gap, met in 2007 in Thailand while gaining their Divemaster qualifications. Both experienced travelers,  they share a passion for adventure travel and  experiencing the world in the most exciting ways possible. In 2008 they launched Xtreme Gap. Focusing on Adventurous Meaningful Travel, they want you to broaden your horizon with like minded individuals while having the
Maximum amount of fun but never neglecting safety.
