In my 2017 summary; the highs & lows blog I said that I was not born to be fit. Because I really do feel like that sometimes. No matter how hard I train, I don’t seem to make much progress! It was nice to get so many comments from people who relate to this. I like...
The end of the year crept up so quickly that I have spent most of this month working out what I actually want to do next year. It feels like quite a significant year (I’ll go into more detail why in a separate blog) so I really wanted to make sure I did it right and...
I read through my 2016 Summary and goals a few times and found it an odd experience. I was such a different person at a completely different place in life back then. That was written by ‘Bex’ the trainee teacher from London who recently completed this mad hike in...
There are lots of things about my current lifestyle that put a strain on my relationship, the biggest being that I am living what I call quite an 'intense' way of life. Just look at the last 3 months......September, off the back of the Paddle Pickup expedition, I was...
Dear Adventurers, It’s strange to think that 2 years ago I didn’t even realise a world of adventure even existed. A growing community of people wanting more adventurer in their life. I probably wouldn't have believed it if you had said there were even individuals who...
So there I was sat by the pool on Utila Island post-dives sweating it out in the sun. It had been a few months since completing my hike the full length of Israel and I was itching for some new adventures. So I did my usual, flicking through outdoor blogs and scrolling...
Growing Love Her Wild, like growing any enterprise, has caused me all sorts of unforeseen stresses and annoyances....I never imagined men being one of them! For those of you that don't know, Love Her Wild is a non-profit community which I set up to encourage and...
There's no way of avoiding it. We set out to climb the height of Everest in the Lake District over 5 days and we didn’t reach our target. We failed. The Everest Adventure The Everest Adventure came about when I had the idea of creating a team expedition which would...
‘Mum, I’ve met a boy’ ‘A Guatemalan?’ she asked ‘No…an Israeli’ I remember that Skype call home quite vividly. 6 and a half years ago sat in an internet cafe in San Pedro, Guatemala. Thankfully I have a mum who takes everything I tell her very much in her stride. She...
Utila has a reputation for people visiting and never leaving. After my time on the Island, I could understand why. I was close to becoming one of those leathery skinned foreigners you see cracking open the beer can at 7am with a ’Straight Outta Utila’ vest on my back....
From the age of 14, I started working as much as I could, putting every penny into savings. By the time I left school, I had enough to make my dream of volunteering in Africa a reality. I boarded a plane in 2006, on my own, for a 6month adventure in East and South...
Christmas season is, without doubt, my favourite time of year. The warm woolly jumpers come out, the fires go on, the festive lights go up and the Christmas songs start playing. I love it! Every December, I make a habit of writing down all the good things...
