What we ’re about
I started this group as I’ve had so many people tell me they’re looking for a friendly way to get outdoors and meet new people so I decided to create exactly that. My mission is to build a supportive community where everyone feels welcome whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned adventurer. Through regular group hikes, this group will aim to boost wellbeing, create genuine social connections and help people experience the stunning natural beauty Victoria has to offer. Each month I’ll be hosting group hikes at different locations across Victoria. I can’t wait to hit the trails with you!

An outdoors enthusiast and AFL nuffy always on the hunt for new trails in he’s own backyard
As one of the many Melbournians who survived covid, I saw firsthand how the isolation and border closures impacted people’s mental state. Inspired to make a positive change, I started sharing easy and accessible adventures close to the city on Instagram to encourage people to get outside and explore their own backyard. The page quickly grew and I now travel full-time sharing adventures to hopefully inspire others to discover the natural beauty of Australia. When I’m not on the road, you’ll find me catching up for beers with mates or walking my pom Ziggy!
