Why am I here?
I took up hiking over 10 years ago, falling in love with the mountains. Since then, I have hiked and camped all over the UK.
After struggling with my mental health for years, I find hiking to be incredibly therapeutic. It’s tough to stay mad at the world when the world itself is so beautiful.
I wanted to bring my two passions together in this blog. I want to share my adventures, offer some hiking tips and advice while promoting mental health through open and candid blogs and poetry.
