Our Story

Charlie ThurstonAdventure Director - Europe & Asia

Born and raised in Denver, Colorado, Charlie grew up playing sports and exploring the outdoors. He attended Duke University where he majored in Public Policy and International Studies while supporting Duke basketball as a proud Cameron Crazy. After school, he moved to Boston and began his career in travel at EF Education First helping others explore the globe.

Charlie joined the Adventure Operations team at Nat Hab in 2021 and oversees programs across Europe and Asia as the Adventure Director. He is also a member of Nat Hab’s Green Team, supporting sustainability initiatives throughout the company's global operations.

During his time at Nat Hab, Charlie has come face to face with polar bears in Manitoba, swam with eagle rays in the Galapagos, achieved enlightenment in the Himalayas (well, almost), and studied the finer points of clumsiness with pandas in China. In his free time Charlie can be found savoring national parks, sampling breweries across Colorado, and playing volleyball with friends.
