OUR TEAM
Who we are
Behind More Life Adventures is a team of passionate individuals each bringing their own skills, passion and experience to create a seamless retreat expience.
Stella Kamba
Founder & Chief Adventurer
Stella was born and raised in Greece and spent most of her childhood summers at adventure camp. At 19 she moved to London to study architecture and discovered the gym. She then worked in commercial architecture practices for 10 years and after several burn-out moments at work, she spent 2 years working for a church and retrained as a personal trainer.
While training clients in the city, she founded More Life Adventures to provide opportunities for quality time, expert coaching, team-building and exploring.
Stella believes in learning to move better and living with freedom and purpose. And that we all learn a lot more outside the classroom!

Since then she has continued designing and hosting retreats globally, bringing over 15 years of experience in wellness, logistics and group leadership.
