Discovering Passions, Following Dreams & Taking Life By The Balls 💪🏻

Travel to Scotland & Canada with me in 2024!

As the year draws to an alarmingly fast close, I can’t help but feel this year has been been a real game changer. From a personal perspective not only did I start saying ‘yes’ more this year and taking life by the metaphoric balls but I fully embraced it and it’s changed… well, everything.

After spending the year, climbing mountains, learning skills, embracing new experiences and doing things that scare me I’ve found myself. I know it sounds so cliche and nausea inducing to say that but it genuinely has led me down a very windy (figuratively and literally) path to what I can only describe as the most authentic version of myself I’ve ever felt. It seems like getting lost helped me find myself… oh and how I hate myself for saying that 😅.

Now I could sit here and reel off a thousand reasons why I love the outdoors, movement, hiking, climbing and everything it has to offer but I’ll spare you (or at least save it for another blog post), because what I really want is to hopefully inspire you to take life by the balls and selfishly, in the best kind of way, find the things that makes you feel like the most authentic version of YOURself and fill your life with memories and not just dreams.

If one thing has become astounding clear to me over the last year it’s that I am making it my goal to help other’s to find their passions, learn new skills, achieve things they never thought possible and make some pretty awesome memories and connections along the way. More on this later though…

If you have been waiting for the sign to start trying new things, say yes to things that scare you, meet new people, experience new things, learn new skills and live life to the fullest then here it is, in all its nauseating and overly positive form 😁.

I’m a sucker for a motivational quote but, again, I’ll spare you for now but I will remind you that pushing yourself out of your comfort zone and actively pursuing what sets your soul on fire is a very worthwhile pursuit. Not only does it help you discover what makes you truly happy but it fosters fulfilment and purpose. It helps you become the best version of you, which means you’re in the best position to help those around you and we all know ‘you must fit your own oxygen mask before helping others’. Ok, one semi motivational quote wasn’t a bad effort.

I promise that’s the annoying motivational part over so let’s get back to the part about my new life goal. If you, like me, have ever felt the itch to explore, to try new things, to challenge yourself then here’s your opportunity.

Find Your Passions, Make New Friends and Challenge Yourself

As I mentioned, I am so driven to bring people together to push themselves out of their comfort zones, learn new skills, dream big and build community and 2024 marks the start of that mission. I’m making my dream come true and this is the start of it.

So on that note… why don’t you come hike and travel with me?

That’s right, 2024 is the year we are going to build an amazing community and open up the outdoors, adventure and movement in all it’s forms to anyone and everyone to enjoy regardless of your background, experience or current fitness level and to say I’m excited would be an extreme understatement!
