LOWA Ambassador Spotlight: Justin Miles - Explorer & Educator

Justin Miles' Story

Justin Miles has been all over the world, however, it certainly hasn’t been an easy journey. In 1999, Justin was involved in a life-changing car accident that left him with serious brain injuries. As a result of his injuries, Justin was left having to learn how to walk and talk again. Persevering through an incredibly challenging recovery journey, Justin never accepted defeat and instead used his childhood dream of becoming an explorer to motivate himself on the road to recovery. Through sheer grit and determination, Justin Miles is now living his lifelong dream and experiencing some incredible adventures in every corner of the planet. 

His adventures have taken him all over the world through mountain, jungle, desert and polar regions. As a passionate advocate for universal education provision, Justin uses his adventures to support global education projects such as the programme Educate A child and UK education charity Sports Connection Foundation. Justin has spoken on these topics at a range of education and political conferences worldwide.
