About


I’m Xanthe, a young Aussie with a love of hiking and travel. Having recently made the big move to live out my dream of working in the UK, I’m hoping to make the most of my time abroad by filling it with adventures both in the UK and further afield. Growing up in Australia instilled a love and appreciation of the outdoors in me, but the opportunity to hike the Overland Track, a six day hike through the remote, alpine terrain of Tasmania, Australia, back in 2020 really brought out my passion for hiking. I started the hike with all the gear and no idea, and quickly discovered that I had found something that I love to do to explore more of my home, new places around the world, and a great way to escape from the stress of life and work.

I love all the hours spent prior to a trip planning out my itinerary and learning about the history and all a place has to offer, so I’m hoping to share some of my hard work to save you some time in planning your own adventures!

Happy travels 🥾☀️
