My Story

I’m a 44-year-old professional who has lived much of her life in two worlds. One is the structured, demanding world of work — deadlines, expectations, and the constant pursuit of “success.” The other is the boundless world of adventure — where I feel most alive, most myself.

My love for travel began early. At 17, I set off with an Interrail pass and a backpack, weaving my way through Eastern Europe. That trip sparked a lifelong passion for exploring new places and cultures. A few years later, I spent six months traveling through northern India and studied for a semester in Kathmandu, Nepal — where I first experienced the thrill of real mountains and multi-day treks.

My early career took me to South Korea, where I taught English and met fellow adventure-seekers from around the world. Hiking, skiing, bikepacking, cycling, and paddleboarding became my ways of reconnecting with myself and the world around me. Eventually, I moved from the UK to Canada, chasing bigger landscapes and deeper adventures.

But life has a way of shifting. I settled into a teaching career — one that I love, but one that slowly began to consume me. With each promotion came more pressure, more hours, and less of me. I stopped doing the things that once made me feel alive. The burnout crept in quietly at first, then all at once.

When I turned 40, health issues began to surface. Having lost both my parents and my brother too soon, I knew what was at stake. A heart condition diagnosis became my wake-up call — a reminder that life isn’t something to postpone. It was time to take back control, to reconnect with who I truly am, and to start living fully again.

What The Adventure Reset Is About

The Adventure Reset is my personal journey — and an invitation to others — to rediscover the adventurous, curious, and vibrant self that often gets buried under the weight of responsibility.

This space is for women who:

• Have felt the sting of burnout or the uncertainty of life transitions.

• Are professionals, mothers, or midlife explorers seeking renewal.

• Want to reconnect with nature, movement, and adventure — in whatever form that takes.

Through stories, reflections, and practical inspiration, I hope to help women like me remember who they’ve always been — before the titles, the expectations, and the exhaustion.

The Reset goal

This isn’t about quitting your job or escaping your life. It’s about resetting — finding balance, joy, and meaning again. It’s about saying yes to the things that make you feel alive, even in small ways.

The Adventure Reset is more than a blog. It’s a call to reclaim your energy, your health, and your sense of wonder. Because it’s never too late to start living the life you were meant to live.

Rediscover yourself through adventure, one step at a time.
