10 Winter Adventures in the Amazing Austrian ...

Imagine hiking up a mountain under a full moon with fresh snow under your feet, breaking through the tree line and feeling that warm glow of sunrise hitting your face. Riding a sleigh pulled by huskies in a winter wonderland, cross- country skiing through villages nestled in the Austrian Alps, tobogganing down a mountain at sunset, swimming in a frozen lake or ski-touring up a mountain and descending through the trees. Imagine ending your day in a rejuvenating thermal spa before dinner and a well-earned sleep, to wake up and do it all over again. Welcome to winter holidays in Austria!

Cycling Scotland's Epic North Coast 500

Not many thoughts enter my mind apart from what I am doing. I wish everyone could do something like this once a year, or even once in your lifetime. We need it! I switch off from everything. A challenge like this is so all encompassing that I don’t have space for much else. All my energy goes into the challenge, and the micro world I create with the adventure I am on, the world directly around me and the people I am with. My world becomes small but this gives me freedom to become bigger than I’ve ever felt. My mind is not filled with events going on all over the world, with emails, news, social media, and the need to reply to messages, my mind is filled with fresh air and miles, hills, sweat, tears and food stops. My mind is filled with views so dramatic and mind-blowing, I am speechless. My heart flips a bit with each corner I turn and the awe that the NC500 route delivers again and again.

It’s been a year since I started the project of creating my dream van ↠ @theonelifevan ↞ and as I get a lot of questions about it, I wanted to share the process and some resources with you! If you are thinking of building or buying a van i can say it’s ONE HUNDRED PERCENT as awesome as you might think it is! And my journey with van life is only just beginning... However, it can be a bit of a minefield and hard to know where to start. I hope this helps :)

Just because my path is different, does not ...

There are preciously rare occasions in life when you are handed an opportunity to go somewhere or meet someone that truly inspires you. Somewhere that shifts your centre of gravity, allowing you to refresh, refocus and restart. Or someone that has the capacity to capture your imagination and transport it to places you aspire to go but don’t quite know how to access. When your mind has gone there, the chances are your body will follow…

Just because my path is different, does not mean I am lost

TrailBlazers: Empowering Girls Sailing ...

In October 2019, I took 10 girls sailing for five days on a Tall Ships Youth Trust sailing adventure proudly sponsored by KEEN footwear. It was magical and lives were changed!

We stepped off the boat with a different perspective. With love in our hearts, faith in ourselves and confidence to go forth and grow into the women we know we can be. I asked the girls to capture their experiences and what it meant to them…

What is your Comfort Zone and why don’t we spend more time outside it?

What is your Comfort Zone and why don’t we spend more time outside it?

I was thinking about comfort zones today, and realized that the more time we spend outside our comfort zones, the more we achieve. When we achieve, it spurs us on to push our comfort zones further and achieve more.

Bathtub 2 Boardroom - My New Office

Today I felt like a kid on my first day at a new school!  I packed my laptop, note pads, pens, blank paper and my running shoes (because all the most productive days in my life have some form of exercise in them) and headed off to Bathtub 2 Boardroom to create new ventures.

2nd January 2013 – Day 1, Liberated

2nd January 2013 – Day 1, Liberated. Day 1  felt like the first day of the rest of my life.  I slept off my New Years Eve hangover with 11 hours shut-eye last night and woke up to an excited fiancée ready to help me kick-start my future into action.
