Over the years, Philip has participated in extraordinary expeditions that shaped his worldview, including traversing the Sahara Desert north to south, mountain biking across Iceland, and climbing remote mountain peaks in the Hoggar, Air, and Tibesti ranges. These formative experiences laid the foundation for his environmental advocacy and scientific curiosity, which now inform his thought-provoking talks.

Philip’s professional achievements span continents and disciplines. He has spent extended periods in the Arctic and High Arctic, conducting personal research and developing his expertise on climate change. In 2023, he advised the Government of Sierra Leone on the sustainable development of eco-tourism, showcasing his commitment to merging scientific knowledge with practical application. His lectures on topics such as marine apex predators, rainforest biodiversity, and climate science are supported by the latest research, bolstered by his links to leading environmental scientists. Philip's work with the Fred Olsen team on the Balmoral, where he delivered a well-received series of lectures for their inaugural voyage to the Antarctic, exemplifies his ability to engage audiences across diverse settings. He also gained national recognition through his guest appearance on BBC Radio 4’s Saturday Live, where he vividly recounted surviving nine days on Mont Blanc.
