Hike More. Camp More. Swim More.
Life has felt a bit chaotic lately, from moving house to work trips and an all-inclusive holiday, my routine (and fitness!) have taken a bit of a hit. I’ve been feeling out of sync and low on energy, so I’ve decided it’s time to reset, refocus, and ease back into healthier habits. No big overhaul, just small daily changes that support how I want to feel. Stronger, more balanced, and back in control.

It's safe to say over the last few years, my life has been a bit of a rollercoaster.

I'll be the first to admit that my career path hasn't exactly been...linear. Having worked my way up through corporate, dabbled in education, trained as an outdoor instructor, worked in a hostel and managed a cafe, it's safe to say my skill set is very varied.
