Happy Christmas
My very first adventure was on a Tall Ship called The Sir Winston Churchill when I had just turned 18.
I have loved adventures ever since. Although I still get seasick 30 years on!
I would describe myself as an everyday adventurer. I try to squeeze adventure into my every day, from walks, swims, and runs to films, podcasts, and books. I am always on the lookout for communities to connect with and adventures to be found.
I have just hit 50, and my adventure journey has changed so many times over the years. From a 20-year-old canoeing and sailing instructor to a Mum with young children teaching them to embrace the outdoors through camping, building dens, and cooking on open fires, to a mum of young teens when we surfed, coast-steered, climbed Ben Nevis, and swam in the North Sea!
My boys are in their late teens now and are slowly flying the nest. I find myself here now, ready to embrace the next stage of my adventure journey.
Embracing my newfound freedom and loving being outside, I am ready to do some exploring!
My adventure journey has included Moonwalks, marathon walks along Hadrian's Wall and the South Coast, firewalks, abseiling down castles, coast steering, a cross-country ski marathon in the Arctic Circle, a wing walk, and training in an Environmental Cold Chamber at the University of Sussex at minus 20!
I have just returned from running a half marathon in Greenland—the biggest and most extreme event I have ever participated in. This Arctic adventure has definitely left me with a fire in my soul for more adventures.
In the last year, I have been trekking in Peru, visiting the Amazon Rainforest, camping at -10 in Sweden, and falling in love with cross-country skiing. I have also organised a mega sea swim for over 500 open-water swimmers to celebrate International Women's Day and am now an official Surfers Against Sewage Rep for Brighton.
This year, I am very proud to have launched the UK's first #makingwaves campaign to attract more women to Adventure.

With a deep understanding of the unique demands and opportunities in the adventure sector, I am dedicated to bringing your projects to life and success to your adventure missions.
I’ve been exploring since I was 18. Wingwalking, moonwalking, firewalking, sea swimming, road running, abseiling, canoeing, kayaking, searching for parrots in the depths of the Amazon rainforest – you name it, I’ve done it! I’m passionate about camper vans, wild swimming, beach saunas, and long walks whilst never forgetting my trusty packet of Digestives! As a blogger for adventure companies, an Ambassador for RubyMoon, a member of the Berghaus Kit Squad, and a speaker at The Adventure Mind Conference, it’s safe to say that adventure is very much part of my everyday DNA.
