When I feel like I want to run away from it all, I know the answer is to start walking. If I’m stuck in the city, trying to find the tallest trees in the local park will do the trick, but I know that really I’m craving something wilder: rugged and blustery coastline, dense forest, hills and mountains.
I wasn’t always like this: I am a city girl, my childhood split between Belfast and Singapore. Both very different cities, but with one thing in common: easy access to nature. I grew up knowing that I could escape the city, and my feelings, anytime I needed.
