Touching the Summit 
- Ask - 💬💭
If you don't ask, then you definitely don't get 🤷🏽♀

One simple question can sometimes give you all the right leads. After graduating in 2010, I was unemployed and then worked temporary jobs for 18 months, lived in temporary accommodation and moved regularly 🙈 At the height of the recession, all I wanted was a graduate quantity surveying job. I applied for hundreds of positions, asked my friends who already had positions for refferals, networked and eventually I reached out to a contact I met at university 👋 He is a successful developer and he was able to put me in contact with the surveying firm who were working on his development and I instantly had an interview. To this day, whenever I doubt about asking, I think back to that pivotal life moment... And I just ask 😬 The same for simple things such as this day on the border to Austria in the Karwendl mountains (can you see me on the traverse?), I asked my wife and her mate if they fancied an all day hike... they said yes and it kicked off my training for September challenges 💪 There is a saying in the north east of England "shy bairns get nowt" which means, shy children get nothing. If you don't ask, then you don't get 💚

- Perfection is boring - 😴
Getting better is where all the fun is! 😬

I used to put myself under a lot of pressure to be perfect and I was under the impression that perfection existed 🌻 I used to worry about how other people looked at me and I wanted to be strong and successful. I used to believe that other people had a better control over things and were more intelligent. In reality a lot of other people also think these things 🙈 In truth, there is no such thing as perfection and people might be intelligent in one specialist area, but less knowledgeable in your specialist area; that doesn't mean they're more intelligent. Quite often it is a game where people try to project the best versions of themselves 🗻 This was my last walk before I was having bad leg cramping and exhausted, it was meant to be the start of training for next month. But I took a step back and rested. There is no shame in accepting that perfection doesn't exist and that from time to time, we need to rest to be able to progress further. Be yourself; this is what makes you loveable and unique 💚

Swipe for my favourite shots from around the world for #worldphotographyday 📷 Photography is one of my hobbies: being behind the camera & editing is a hobby that gives me goosebumps & an outdoor creative outlet for my anxiety. Before shooting the northern lights in 2018, I hadn't ever shot with a camera with interchangeable lenses and I definitely had never learnt about exposure and aperture!🤷🏽♀The product of this creativity is being able to produce memories that I can then share with all of you 💚 Do what you love 💚

1 week ago I was approaching the end of a rest period prescribed by the doctor 🙈 A lot of things in my personal life have been traumatic the past 12 months and I just kept going. I trained more. I took no time to register the trauma and start to heal. In combination with low vitamin D, my body said no more. It ached and cramped until I had to take time to rest 🌻 This was my first short walk after a couple of weeks off. I hiked from Germany into Tirol in Austria with stunning views of the Kaiser mountains. The walk felt easy and it has built confidence to start again with train for bigger challenges in September 😁💚

I always try to say yes to new adventures😬Flying on a small 10 seater plane from Liberia to Drake in Costa Rica was a new adventure. This was the start of the rainy season and access to the Osa Peninsula was starting to be difficult via road vehicles, so we decided to fly. Never before have I turned up at an airport with zero security checks and full access to the pilots during the flight. They were however 100% professional and at times, this is the way it works on smaller charter planes. The beach and wildlife experience that we got on the Osa Peninsula was very different to that in other parts of Costa Rica. It felt more wild. Although I was scared on the flight, would I do it again? Yes. What's your wildest experience? 💚
