Capilano River Park Hike | Vancouver

Winter in Vancouver is very rainy and grey, a fact I've come to accept. So when the sun came out on weekday off work, it was time to make the most of it. A lot of the higher altitude hikes are covered in snow at this time of year, but…

Lighthouse Park Hike | Vancouver

What better way to spend a sunny autumn Saturday than on a coastal forest hike? The temperature has dropped massively in Vancouver since I arrived last month, and many days are grey or rainy. We even had snow the other day! So when the sun is shining (and I'm off…

Lynn Canyon Hike | Vancouver

One of the reasons I chose British Columbia over Canada's other provinces for my working holiday (at least to start with) is the abundance of hiking opportunities. Although, arriving in autumn means I'll save a lot of them until spring and summer next year. However, I'm trying to squeeze in…

What is Eco-Anxiety and How Do We Handle It?

Climate anxiety or eco-anxiety is, to boil it down to the basics, fear caused by climate change and environmental disaster.

Edinburgh Walking Routes | Hiking Scotland

Edinburgh is a city known for its 'Seven Hills', which naturally offer a wide choice of hiking routes without leaving the city limits. However, hiking hills all the time isn't for everybody, and even someone like myself who enjoys hiking, occasionally wants to go for a walk that doesn't involve…

Things to Know About Yoga

So I've been practising yoga now on and off for about seven years, but consistently for the last four, mainly using the Yoga with Adriene YouTube channel at home (not in person classes). As someone who never liked sports and exercise growing up, discovering yoga was a big thing for…

Ben A’an & Loch Katrine | Hiking Scotland

A few weeks ago, my best friend woke me up at 7am on the dot, with a very loud, bright "Guten Morgen" (she's not German, I don't know why she was speaking it). If anyone else did this to me, they'd get a slap round the face. Fortunately, she escaped…

Exploring the Scottish Borders | Hiking Scotland

If you follow me over on Instagram, you might have noticed that last month all of my photos came from outside Edinburgh. I was visiting my parents (and exploring!) in the Scottish Borders for a few weeks. While staying there, I got to visit a lot of places in the…

Braid Burn | Morningside to Holyrood | Hiking Edinburgh

First of all, "hiking" is an exaggeration here, as this whole route is on level ground, so it's really just a long walk. But for the sake of organisational purposes on the blog here, it's easiest to include this in the "Hiking Edinburgh" series. Anyways. Since most of…

How I Cope with Stress

Not well, is the short answer to that title. But I'm going to try anyways! I've never coped with stress all that well, as I get tense and wound up fairly easily, and have a strong tendency to overthink things, so my brain takes me to all the…
