About Author
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 and squeeze adventure into my every day from walks, swims and runs to film, podcasts and books. I am always on the look out 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, it is here I find myself now, ready to embrace the next stage of my adventure journey.
Embracing my new found freedom and loving being outside, I am ready to do some exploring!
My adventure journey has included Moonwalks, marathon walks along Hadrians 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 come back from running a 1/2 marathon in Greenland – the biggest and most extreme event I have ever taken part in. This Arctic adventure has definitely left me with a fire in soul for more adventures.
This year I am off trekking in Peru, visiting the Amazon Rainforest, hiking around the Isle of Wight and organising a mega sea swim for over 500 “mermaids” to celebrate International Women’s Day.
When I am not on an adventure I am working with my beautiful VW Camper Van called Daisy on photo shoots – if you want you or your business to stand out from the crowd then its time to book a branding shoot with Daisy.

Is Your First Aid Kit Mission Ready?
To all my fellow female travellers it is time to book yourself onto a first aid course. Give your first aid kit some love, check sell by dates, spend some money and give it a total refresh – think of it as your mission ready power pack. It could get you out of a difficult situation, buy time and help you manage a difficult situation.
If you are travelling or are on an adventure, accidents will inevitably happen so it is better to be prepared to help deal with a situation. When you need first aid supplies or help it will always be when the shops are closed, it is late at night, you are too remote or travelling, you have had a long day or there is a language barrier.
