Zegrahm Field Leaders: Inspired and Inspiring
We hear it from our guests time and again: Zegrahm field leaders are out of this world. That’s because we’ve made it our priority from Day One to recruit the top experts in their respective fields. When planning each adventure, both by ship and on land, we build the ultimate dream team for the destination: marine biologists, ornithologists, geologists, botanists, historians, anthropologists, archaeologists, and dive masters. Zegrahm field leaders are well-known throughout the world; many of them are published writers, authors, and photographers. All are passionate about travel and the world around them. An added plus: They’re also engaging, personable, and caring.
During our small-ship expeditions, you can look forward to an ongoing series of destination lectures, photo presentations, daily recaps, and onshore interactive walks. On land journeys, one or two field experts will share their intimate knowledge of the region, its wildlife and its cultures, while ensuring that you have a smooth and well-rounded expedition experience.
See below for a look at our world-class expedition team or just visit any destination we visit and review the trip leaders.
Featured Expedition Leader
Kelsey Simmons
After graduating from the University of Washington with a degree in Art History, Kelsey spent time traveling through Europe and living in various parts of California and Oregon before the lure of the Pacific Northwest brought her back to the Seattle area. Kelsey’s wanderlust then turned her to a career in adventure travel with Zegrahm Expeditions. In her time at Zegrahm, Kelsey has traveled to all seven continents onboard a variety of expedition vessels in the capacity of both Cruise Director and Expedition Leader. Most recently, Kelsey took on the role as Director of Expedition Staff and Field Operations. When Kelsey isn’t traveling to the far-flung corners of the world, you can find her remodeling her own home on Whidbey Island in Washington State.
