The past two weeks were bliss! Oh, the things we’ll do for a good view! Cold, windy nights sleeping on the ground; climbing exposed chain ladders; steep icy passes and burning legs and lungs… all totally worth it!
Feeling beyond blessed for the places and people that make life an epic adventure.
The berg has it all! Cold plunges, breathtaking views, challenging terrain and shining stars.

A one night escape to the place of the dragon.

From gondolas in Venice, to the glory of Rome, to the tranquil beauty of the Amalfi Coast—finished off with some sunshine in the Seychelles. A truly unforgettable journey.

Beyond blessed to have checked off some bucket-list destinations that will live in my heart forever. Grateful for special moments with family in the most beautiful places, and a home to come back to.

Another splendid weekend in Lesotho.

This place never fails to leave me in awe. You simply can’t exhaust the Drakensberg — the same hike, in a different season or with different people, feels completely new, as if you’re experiencing it for the first time.

A true playground for adventure lovers: dramatic rocks as far as the eye can see, breathtaking ridge walks, expansive views, crystal clear streams and beautiful wildlife at every turn. What a gift.

“I call out to the Lord, and He answers me from His holy mountain.” — Psalm 3:4

Ireland, you were an absolute treat!
From exploring ancient cathedrals and clambering around old forts to chasing waves and cliff finding along the Wild Atlantic Way—it was magic.
The people, the culture, the views?! All unforgettable.
So grateful for spontaneous adventures, loose plans, stunning spots, and great company.
Shoutout to @michtell for being the ultimate travel bud!
Ireland, you blew me away… and yep, I’m already dreaming of round two. ☘️
Until next time!

Another memorable weekend in the mountains.

Not going to lie—this hike had me questioning my life choices more than once.
Pro tip: don’t take on a challenging hike when you’re on the brink of a cold… especially in winter. It will push you over the edge.

At one point, I found myself wondering:
“Why do I choose to spend my weekends waking up at 4:30am to trudge up a massive hill with a heavy bag, and sleep in the cold, just to hike back down the next day?”
Dramatic, I know—but it’s just what went through my mind.

Thankfully, the doubt never lingers for long.
The moment I drop my pack and take in the view, the struggle softens. I remember why I keep coming back.
Mountains leave you with a sense of wonder that’s hard to come by in today’s fast-paced world. It’s where I feel closest to God—surrounded by silence, majesty, and the rawness of creation.

A massive shoutout to @justclydecreative - her can-do attitude and quiet grit carried me up the never-ending pass as we navigated our way to Twins Cave. Her mental strength and hunger for new experiences make her the ultimate adventure buddy.

This hike was no joke—but it was so worth it.
The Drakensberg is truly a treasure: vast, majestic, and endlessly wild. The lack of signage and well-maintained trails? Honestly, it just adds to the adventure. It’s like stepping back in time… though I could’ve done without the constant whipping from grass and thorny bushes not to mention the never-ending pathfinding.

Now, sitting in the comfort of my little farm cottage, I am grateful for the challenge, the beauty, and the people who make it all worthwhile.

Already counting down to the next mountain mission.
