Hi! As keen lover of the outdoors and everything it has to offer including hikes and walks, paddleboarding, wild swimming and more I love to spend my free time travelling around different parts of the UK exploring and getting to know the area. I love to write about places I’ve been, share tips and routes and create content to help others get outdoors too. Most of my adventuring is done in the UK but when possible, I love to also head abroad to explore different countries too.
