Amy Brummit has long held a passion for travel, exploration and adventure. As an avid explorer filled with curiosity, an intrepid traveler, an outdoor guiding enthusiast and naturalist, an educator and a science support specialist in Antarctica, Amy is next headed to the Greenland Ice Sheet in the Arctic to manage Summit Station during the 24-hour dark winter.

​She has extensive travel experience to all 50 states, and over 100 different countries on all seven continents, including solo travel to many remote locations around the world.

From summiting Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, to exploring the Amazon Rain Forest seeking the elusive Jaguar, to working in Antarctica, to boarding a dilapidated skiff on the Niger River to journey to Timbuktu, to giving up her passport and cell phone to visit North Korea, to kayaking with hippos on a multi-day expedition on the Zambezi River, to unexpectedly sharing tea with a Sheik in the Western Desert, to hiking up to see Gorillas in Rwanda, to managing a restaurant in the Turks and Caicos, to spending 10 days at a silent meditation retreat in Sri Lanka, these are just a handful in a life of endless explorations, adventures, and expeditions. 

​Amy is a Naturalist and Guide with National Geographic Lindblad Expeditions and a National Geographic certified educator, a licensed Sea Kayaking guide, a 50-ton Merchant Marine boat captain, a white water rafting guide, and a Whale Naturalist. She served on the Ocean Search & Rescue and Firefighting teams in Antarctica and is a NOLS licensed Wilderness First Responder and Leave No Trace certified Educator. She has traveled to several National Parks in the United States and has guided in Acadia National Park on hikes, whale watching, sea kayaking and lobster boats and in Teton National Park as a boat captain on Jenny Lake.        ​

She spent several years living abroad and teaching in international private schools in Ghana, Shanghai and Paraguay. She has a Master’s degree in Education with an additional two more years of graduate school to be a licensed Library Media Specialist. She will happily give book recommendations anytime, anywhere.

​Amy has been a theatrical director and actress both domestically and internationally and had the honor to study theatre in London at the esteemed Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts.

​She has also been very active in environmental conservation projects as well as social service initiatives throughout her life. Intermittently, since 2002, she has contracted as a certified Protected Species Observer, living aboard dredge ships and tug boats where she mitigates for protected and endangered species. While living in Ghana, West Africa, she was the head advisor of the Habitat for Humanity program at Lincoln Community School. This role took her and students to several Ghanaian villages across the country where they helped build homes.​

These professions and experiences are interconnected through a dedication to exploration, guidance, and stewardship, underpinned by essential soft skills such as communication, adaptability, and leadership. Educators and theatre artists use creativity and empathy to inspire and mentor individuals, fostering growth and understanding. Lead logistics specialists, outdoor adventure guides, and mariners navigate complex environments with problem-solving and adaptability, ensuring safety and efficiency while leading others on journeys of discovery. Naturalists and conservationists serve as guardians of the environment, demonstrating a strong sense of stewardship and collaboration to preserve ecosystems for future generations. World explorers embody resilience and curiosity, pushing boundaries to uncover new knowledge and inspire others. Together, these roles emphasize the importance of exploration, protection, and guiding others toward appreciating the world around them through effective communication, adaptability, and leadership.
