Hike More. Camp More. Swim More.
I first injured my knee back in October 2018. I tore a ligament playing netball and it's safe to say my knee hasn't been right since. At the time, I had the support of my husband, both emotionally and financially. I didn't have to worry about rushing back to work, or getting from A to... Continue Reading →
The rat race of the corporate world was not for me. Having money and 'things' didn't make me happy. It took me quite a while to realise that I didn't have to continue on this path and that I could in fact work a part time job and make time for adventures, whilst still being... Continue Reading →
Recently, I've been doing a very good job of getting in my own head and beating myself up over silly things, so the timing of this fell right when I most needed it. Firstly I want to say a huge thank you to Felicity for hosting an incredible retreat and creating such a calm and... Continue Reading →
One of the biggest things in my budget I feel I can control, is how much I spend on food. I very rarely eat out, but recently I have become a sucker for 'convenient shopping' which has been pretty costly! Therefore, as part of my 'No Spend Feb', I set myself a budget of £20/week...

This January has been an expensive one, with a mix of unexpected and unavoidable extra costs, as well as lots of little things that end up costing a lot in total. The biggest factor adding to my expenses was my car, which needed to go into the garage. I also had a trip back up... Continue Reading →
I'm sure many of you will agree that 2021 has been a bit of a whirlwind. I can't believe how quickly the new year is approaching. My three month course has now come to an end and it really does feel like the new year is a sort of new beginning for me. I have... Continue Reading →
Recently, I seem to have been getting so caught up in the negatives, in the worry and the what ifs. So as I lie here having a rest day (because my dodgy knee has gone again) I've been thinking about how lucky I am. I keep forgetting to take the time to just stop and... Continue Reading →
I'm not where I ever expected to be at 30. I thought I would be settled down with a family, a steady job, a nice house. I'd had a plan, but things just weren't meant to be that way. When I was at school it was just expected that you went to university. I picked... Continue Reading →
I still can't quite get my head around the fact that people feel inspired by the things I do. I am no expert. I get outdoors because I love it, because it's where I feel safe and it's one of the very few places my head lets me breathe. I started getting back into hiking... Continue Reading →
Three weeks ago I embarked on my biggest journey to date. I quit my job, packed up my life and moved to the other end of the country. I didn't really know what it would entail, other than that it would be physical, I'd meet new people and I'd need to find a job. These... Continue Reading →
