Female hiker, runner, and nature lover. Exactly in the mid-50s feeling fit and healthy. Sometimes I do ultras and one day I will return to more training but for now I am roaming European mountain ranges (and hope to do more continents). Traveling in an off-grid van at the moment but staying flexible on the idea of how and when I get everywhere.

Poland-born, UK-adopted, and Hongkonger at heart. DNA test informs me I have Estonian and/or Lithuanian genes!

Lovingly converted by Alice and Ed who understood it fully. I have to learn a LOT about the Van. So far I have brushed the hedge at Jo’s (left-wing mirror needing to be clicked back by wonderful Mercedes Benz people) and moved Sarah’s rubbish bins (leaving a small knock in its ribs). It will soon need new winter shoes! Tossed a few names but none stuck so for the moment it is simply the Van.

German-born, UK-adopted, destination unknown
