I only catch waves when I’m travelling, so I had to give it a go whilst I was in India! I’m still a beginner, forever learning the ropes with every wipeout and every ride. But there’s something about being out there, something about the surfer’s soul that draws me in 🏄🏽‍♀️

Here’s some shots of me when I was in Varkala 🇮🇳

While cruising through the lively streets of Goa on New Years Eve, I encountered groups of boys enthusiastically shouting "Old Man." Intrigued, I decided to stop and chat with them, eager to uncover the story behind this.

Shouting “Old Man” was a precursor to a significant New Year’s Eve custom in Goa. They explained how the dressed up scarecrow sort of figure, symbolising the Old Man, embodied the past year - its trials, triumphs, and memories. They then set the Old Man ablaze, this is a way for the community to bid farewell to the past and embrace the promise of a fresh start.

In that spontaneous roadside conversation, the boisterous shouts of “Old Man” transformed into a gateway to understanding the profound cultural meaning of the tradition - a shared narrative of letting go and hope for the upcoming year. It was a moment of unity, reflection, and the collective belief in the power of renewal.

Experiencing the sunset from Pico de La Co**ha for the first time was absolutely breathtaking! While I've tackled this trail on numerous occasions, I typically do the slightly shorter out-and-back route, which starts at Refugio de Juanar.

This time, beginning the hike from Altos de Istán resulted in a later finish and a more challenging path with scree and additional scrambling.

On a clear day, you can even see across the sea to Africa, adding another layer of awe to the already stunning views. What's even more incredible is the unbelievably glorious weather; it never ceases to amaze me that it's November and still this beautifully warm.

Because of all these factors, being here makes me feel like I'm at home and exactly where I need to be.

I find my routes through the app, which has truly helped me explore more of the world!

In the depths of Yasuni National Park in Ecuador, I embarked on a nighttime trek filled with anticipation through the Amazonian Rainforest. Guided by the moonlight and the sounds of the nocturnal creatures, I ventured deeper into the dense vegetation.

Along the way, my guides .panga & shared knowledge about all the fascinating creatures you can see in these images, immersing me in the wonders of the rainforest.

During the night trek, a sense of fear crept up within me. The darkness seemed to magnify every unfamiliar sound and shadow and the idea of encountering unknown creatures. But then, something shifted within me. I realised that facing my fears head-on was the only way to embrace the experience truly. So, with a determined spirit, I ventured into the rainforest, shining my flashlight into the undergrowth, revealing a world teeming with insects and bugs. As I encountered them face to face, my fear transformed into fascination. I observed intricate patterns on the dart frog, marvelled at the giant toads, and admired the resilience of the tarantulas. At that moment, I overcame my trepidation, embracing the bugs as an integral part of the ecosystem. It was a transformative realisation, reminding me that sometimes the most rewarding experiences lie beyond our fears.

The experience left me in awe of nature's beauty and its intricate connections. As I departed, I carried with me a newfound appreciation for the delicate balance of life and the mysteries that lie within the untamed night wilderness.

Every single day, I wake up fueled with determination to chase down my dreams. They are not the conventional paths society lays out, but that's what makes them extraordinary to me. I refuse to settle for a life defined by others' expectations. I'm here to create my own definition of happiness.

I crave the freedom of exploration, the raw beauty of nature, and the thrill of traversing uncharted territories. It's in those moments, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, that I feel most alive. I'm a nomad at heart, seeking out new horizons and unravelling the secrets this world holds.

I once believed I wasn't skilled enough to tackle the trails up a mountain on a bike. Doubts echoed in my mind, trying to hold me back. But then, a powerful realisation hit me like a bolt of lightning: Who cares? I'm not here to impress anyone. I'm here to do what sets my soul on fire. This mindset fuels me on my life's journey.

Today, I stand proud as a testament to the power of authenticity. I've cast aside the doubts, the fears, and the pressures to conform. I've learned that true happiness lies in honouring who I am at my core and unapologetically pursuing my passions.

Let me encourage you: Embrace your own extraordinary journey. Don't be held back by the expectations of others. Let your passions guide you, and relish in the exhilaration of being unapologetically yourself. The world is yours for the taking, and the possibilities are boundless.

Tried and tested boot review! 🏔 🥾

When looking for some good hiking and trekking boots it can be a minefield, it took me a while to find some which are suitable for me as I wanted a multipurpose allrounder.

I have had my Maverick for 8+ months and they’ve done some serious distance and tackled various conditions such as snow, scree, mud, ice, rain and up to 40 degrees heat.

I can confirm they have held up amazingly under all of the above and I have never had any issues, wet feet, blisters, or discomfort. They are super lightweight and no need to break them in.

I would highly recommend getting a boot fit, I got mine done at to assess my size. It is always best to try before you buy and check the fit, as everyone’s feet are different so it’s important that you make an informed decision! I had to size up to allow for swell and declines.
