WOMXN FOR WILD CO-FOUNDER

‘My relationship with the outdoors only really began in 2018. Once it began, though, I fell completely in love. But it was daunting! Being 26 and starting a whole new lifestyle, not having any friends who wanted to do the same things, I had to navigate it all alone.

It took months to pluck up the courage to go to the rock-climbing gym, and about a year before I went for my first surf lesson. So that’s where my desire to grow a community like Womxn for Wild stemmed from. The desire to create a platform for women to get out and try new things with a safe community.’
