I grew up embracIng outdoor suburbia. Pools, riding bikes and walking the dog at the local reserve. Our family holidays (which I loved) were an apartment on the Gold Coast and the worlds (a set of Australian theme parks). The closest to wild life was Currumbin bird sanctuary.
Then in my late teens I meet my now husband. He loved camping, skiing, bushwalking and everything outdoors.
And so began our slow journey of him teaching me to love what he loved. I have some stories about this journey (all involve me throwing a tantrum) that I will share through-out this site.
But I just want to say loving outdoor adventures isn’t something you have to been born into. It’s something you can learn as an adult, even if previously you only wanted to experience adventure through the pages of a good book.
