When Mountains are calling!!
Learning how to swim
What’s something you’ve done that you never thought you could? I always loved water but I could not swim. For years I always said I will learn but never did. Last year I went to Thailand and water was everywhere. That holiday pushed me to learn how to swim. I came back from the holiday…
Self care
How do you manage stress? During the week I do Pilates, Yoga and Swim. Then I hike once or twice a month. Also spending time with my kids, family and friends
Early Retirement
The genie grants you a wish. What is it? Get to have no care in the world about the clock, what day is it. Live the life I want, travel without waiting for leave days.

Two Amigos, One Windy Adventure This was not your typical hike unless your “typical” involves cold winds, empty beds, and two women laughing at their own madness.

Surrounded by mountains, with winter mornings where the sun clocks in after…
There’s few but I will go with the most recent one – Covid 19
If you could erase one event from history, what would it be? Covid 19. This was the worst of the worst. Too many lives around the world were destroyed. Like what in the world was that! We are still trying to pick up the pieces in one way or the other.
Fried bream Fish with Morogo and Pap
What’s the best local dish you’ve ever eaten while traveling? In 2023 I traveled to Zambia 🇿🇲 and my Zambian friends took me out for lunch at a local food restaurant. OMG! I ate the most delicious meal. To this day I still think of that meal.
Haarties Hiking Trail: Fatcakes, Fog & Fabtastic People
“Everybody gets a car!” 😂 Okay fine, not Oprah level giveaways, but we did hand out fatcakes and chocolates, which in hiking currency is basically the same thing. Winter and I have a complicated relationship. I’m a winter baby, but the season and I don’t vibe. I underdressed for this hike and froze my toes…
