Olaf Malver

Olaf has an incredible enthusiasm for exploring truly off-the-beaten-path locations that possess unique natural beauty and/or authentic indigenous cultures. His passion for the history of the world's greatest explorers is what drives him, and he is deeply curious about opening remaining frontiers to himself and his fellow travelers—which is why Olaf founded Explorers' Corner.

"Explorers’ Corner" is a reference to the single, dusty corner of all great libraries where a select few adventurers gather to examine antique maps as they plan their next expedition. That's where Olaf feels at home. He speaks six languages, has a Ph.D. in chemistry and a master's in international law and diplomacy from Tufts University. He is also a former science educator at University of California San Francisco.

But his greatest infatuation is with adventure. Olaf has been an adventure travel guide for more than 25 years, leading kayaking trips on all seven seas, developing a loyal following of paddling explorers. He is a passionate eco-tourism activist working to help promote sustainable tourism in developing countries in the quest to protect the world’s natural habitats. Olaf is an avid outdoorsman, having climbed mountains, traveled by dog sled and hiked in more than 80 countries over 35 years. For 15 years Olaf has been a Fellow of the exclusive Explorers Club. Perhaps most importantly, Olaf loves to have fun and his traveling companions claim he is great company!
