They are small-group journeys into wild places Emily has spent years seeking out: tracking snow leopards across Mongolia, swimming with oceanic predators in Baja, standing before one of the few remaining large bull elephants in Kenya, and Maui's whale season.

Expeditions are planned and booked through ELEM×HU, and the travel catalog is sent when you request it, by email or printed and posted to you.
