Mini Bio
I ran a successful hairdressing business for 20 years while I raised my son. Then I travelled to Nepal on a charity hike – the adventure changed my life. That trip to Nepal started me on a journey of study and experience, enabling me to lead over 60 expeditions worldwide. I’ve worked alongside many amazing people, and meeting and sharing my journey with them has been an absolute privilege.
Favourite Place to Play
White Park Bay on the Antrim coast of Northern Ireland is my favourite of all the world’s beaches. When I have spare time, I love wild camping on the beach with my husband, collecting driftwood and cooking over a campfire. We make sure to leave only our footprints in the sand as we go.
Not a lot of People Know This
My mum and dad sold everything, including our house, when I was only seven years old. We bought an old Volkswagen camper van and drove across Europe, eventually ending up on the island of Crete. At first, we lived on a beach in our van. Then we moved into a two-room house in the mountains without electricity, running water or a toilet. It was the coldest winter in 40 years, but the wood fire kept us warm! It was this experience that shaped my love of adventure.
