Solo female travel and outdoor adventure. Adventure makes me happy.
Hi! Thanks for stopping by. My name is Lydia and I'm from Cornwall, UK.
I spent a huge chunk of my early life struggling with depression, anxiety and poor mental health. I even had a stint where I was agoraphobic and too scared to leave the house.
Now that these things no longer hold me back, I intend to make up for lost time.
I wholeheartedly believe in making the most of life, living bravely and doing what makes you happy. A big part of that for me is seeking out adventure, pushing myself outside of my comfort zone and encouraging others to do the same.
One of my favourite things is to travel slowly and immerse myself in a country, its culture and landscapes. I also love spending time in wild places.
Join me as I document some of my adventures and the things I learn along the way.
