Hi, i’m brooke!

world traveller, mountain girl & research scientist.

I’ve spent the last decade exploring the world— everything from solo trekking in the Andes to overlanding in Zambia, all while completing a PhD in Biomechanics & becoming a permanent resident of Australia. In 2020, I finally fulfilled my dream of becoming a full-time nomad!

Whether it’s vanlife in Mexico, climbing in the Dolomites, scuba diving in the Galápagos, or road-tripping through US National Parks, I hope this blog will inspire your future adventures & help you find wonder in every corner of the globe.

  • climbing our way through the Middle East 🧗🏻‍♀️✨ After climbing in Jordan’s incredible Wadi Rum desert the previous month, we were eager to get back on the rock during our time in Egypt— and there’s no better place than the Sinai Peninsula. Bedouins have been climbing these mountains for centuries, but bolted sport routes have only appeared in recent decades as European climbers partnered with local communities to establish more official routes in the canyons around Dahab & beyond. The fantastic team at @egyptclimbing set us up with a local guide who drove us out into the desert & unleashed us on the shaded red granite of Wadi Gnai. I’ve climbed almost exclusively on sandstone & limestone in recent years, so it took a minute to adjust to a totally different rock experience, but we ended up having so much fun! Worth hauling our climbing shoes around all year even for a few minutes of this 😂 . . . . . . #dahab #experienceegypt #sinai #sinairockclimbing #sinairockclimbingcentre #dahabegypt #girlswhoclimb #climbon #climbing #climbersofinstagram

Home to an unparalleled collection of ancient manuscripts and icons—which, thanks to its remote Sinai location, survived unscathed during the Byzantine Iconoclasm—it’s a testament to the enduring significance of this sacred place. Perhaps most importantly, it was also home to an unparalleled number of cats. All of whom I stopped to snuggle.

And finally, after years of dreaming about it, we set off on camelback for an adventure of our own that was every bit as incredible as I’d imagined.

There was a lot of sweating, but the reward was cresting over the summit without another soul in sight, staring out at the vast Sinai desert in bug-eyed awe of a magical landscape that has captivated humans for millennia ☀️ On our way to the mountain, we also explored St Catherine’s Monastery, the oldest continuously operating Christian monastery in the world. Home to an unparalleled collection of ancient manuscripts and icons—which, thanks to its remote Sinai location, survived unscathed during the Byzantine Iconoclasm—it’s a testament to the enduring significance of this sacred place. Perhaps most importantly, it was also home to an unparalleled number of cats. All of whom I stopped to snuggle. THIS is my sacred pilgrimage 🐈 . . . . . #mtsinai #egypt #visitegypt #exploreegypt #ancientegypt #sinai #dahab #dahabegypt
Standing at 2,285m (7,500ft), Mt Sinai is a sacred pilgrimage route for thousands of annual visitors— believed by Christians, Jews & Muslims to be the place where Moses received the Ten Commandments ⛰️🐪 While most hike Mt Sinai under the stars for sunrise, we switched it up completely & headed out with our friends from @desertdiversdahab smack in the middle of the day.
