hi, I’m brooke!

I've spent the last decade exploring the world— everything from solo climbing in the Andes to overlanding in Zambia, all while completing a PhD in Biomechanics. In 2020, I fulfilled my dream of becoming a full-time nomad! Whether it’s vanlife in Mexico, scuba diving in the Galápagos, road-tripping through the Middle East, or climbing in the Dolomites, I hope this blog will inspire your future adventures & help you find wonder in every corner of the globe. xx bb

  • a few of the wonderful & wacky places we worked on the road this autumn in the Middle East 🇯🇴🇪🇬🇦🇪🇾🇪🇴🇲🇶🇦 it’s not easy travelling full-time & trying to keep on top of our MOUNTAIN of work— between photo & video editing, blog writing, brand collaborations, actual trip planning, and the fact that I’m still fulfilling a university research contract (on an increasingly casual basis), we have been BUSY this year… but we still wouldn’t choose any other office 🌍💻 . . . . . . . #workfromanywhere #digitalnomad #digitalnomadlife #digitalnomads #fulltimetravel #todaysoffice
  • Come with us to the annual camel racing festival in Wadi Rum, Jordan 🐪🇯🇴✨ We found out about the races from a camel guide in the desert, and it was pure coincidence that it lined up with our month in Jordan, so of course we had to go check it out. And it was every bit as incredible as it sounds! As the only foreigners here, it really felt like we got an authentic glimpse into Bedouin culture— and we couldn’t wait to share it with you! See you next year, camel lovers. . . . . . #jordan #visitjordan #jordantravel #experiencejordan #discoverjordan #travelbeyond #camelracing #wadirum #camels #camelrace
  • Bedouins have been using domesticated camels as transportation (& a source of milk) for thousands of years, and unlike some of the other places where you can ride camels internationally, the camels in Wadi Rum are truly happy, healthy & so well cared for. We had a really positive experience with every camel we interacted with in Wadi Rum & saw firsthand how important these animals are to Bedouin culture, as well as how lovingly they’re treated. If you’re considering a camel ride, we’d strongly recommend skipping busy sites like Petra (& definitely the Egyptian Pyramids or Mt Sinai) where camels are often overworked & poorly treated. Instead, support ethical camel tourism in Wadi Rum, where the welfare of these incredible animals is a priority. TIPS FOR ETHICAL CAMEL ACTIVITIES IN WADI RUM 🐪 book through a trusted local Bedouin guide—ask questions about how the camels are cared for 🐪 avoid any operation where camels look stressed, overworked, or malnourished 🐪 opt for short camel rides (1–2 hours max) rather than all-day treks 🐪 happy camels are usually calm, well-fed, & not overburdened! . . . . . . #jordan #visitjordan #jordantravel #experiencejordan #explorejordan #discoverjordan #travelgirl #adventuregirl #travelbeyond #wadirum #camels #camelsofinstagram #wadirumdesert
  • 10 BEST EXPERIENCES IN WADI RUM 🐪🇯🇴✨ 1️⃣ Little Bridge: a picturesque natural arch perfect for a quick scramble & photos 2️⃣ 4x4 jeep tour: half- or full-day jeep tours are the most popular way to see the desert; most tours include stops to - Little Bridge (1st photo) - Khazali Canyon - Lawrence’s House - Mushroom Rock - random lunch & siesta spot - Sand Dunes - Um Frouth Rock Bridge - Burdah Arch Viewpoint (which you can climb later!) - & somewhere to watch the sunset 3️⃣ sport climbing: even though Wadi Rum is best known for its trad climbing, there are about 40 (beautifully bolted, shady) sport routes out here in the desert— contact @hussain_al_zalabieh for guiding 4️⃣ scramble to Burdah Arch: this 3hr return hike offers some of the most incredible views over Wadi Rum 5️⃣ ride camels through the desert: domesticated camels have been used as a source of transportation for thousands of years in the desert & Wadi Rum is a fantastic place to ethically engage with well-treated camels; expect to pay ~$15 for a 1hr ride 6️⃣ watch the sunset over the desert: scramble up the nearest rock pile to watch intense shades of red & orange burn across the landscape 7️⃣ sleep in a Bedouin cave: nomadic Bedouin tribes have lived in Wadi Rum for centuries, settling for a few months at a time in various caves before moving further afield; our friend @rakan_wadi_rum_tours can help organise an unforgettable overnight stay in a Bedouin cave 8️⃣ camel racing: for more than 1400 years, Bedouins have been racing camels in the desert, and if you’re lucky enough to be there during one of the events, it’s SO COOL to see in person! (camel racing reel coming later this week 🐪) 9️⃣ summit a Jebel: Wadi Rum is full of incredible mountains with panoramic hiking routes to the top, including Jebel Umm Ad Dami (the tallest mountain in Jordan) & Jebel Rum (the 2nd tallest!) 🔟 overnight at a traditional Bedouin camp: opt for a luxury tent at @arabiannightsrum , we had the BEST experience here! . . . . . . #jordan #visitjordan #jordantravel #experiencejordan #explorejordan #discoverjordan #travelgirl #adventuregirl #travelbeyond #wadirum #wadirumdesert #camelrace
  • Climbing in one of the most spectacular deserts in the world, Wadi Rum 😍🧗🏻‍♀️ International climbers have been scaling these red sandstone cliffs since the 80s, when a few European legends teamed up with local Bedouin guides to chart routes all across the desert. Today, there are around 30-40 (impeccably!) bolted sport routes, some spectacular multi-pitch, and an entire universe of trad— but Bedouins are the real OGs. The tribes who live in Wadi Rum have been navigating these cliffs for centuries to hunt, travel & survive in the rugged landscape. BAREFOOT, no less. For the history & the scenery & the complete solitude, Wadi Rum is easily one of the coolest places I’ve ever climbed and we can’t wait to come back next year!! A massive thank you to our incredible Bedouin climbing guide @hussain_al_zalabieh (who made climbing barefoot on hot sandstone look way too easy) + our local pal @rakan_wadi_rum_tours who hooked it all up 🙏🏽 . . . . . . #jordan #visitjordan #jordantravel #experiencejordan #explorejordan #discoverjordan #girlswhoclimb #climbergirl #travelbeyond #wadirum #climbing #climberlife #climbersofinstagram

  • Petra is SO much more than just The Treasury… ✨ check out brookebeyond.com/petra for a super detailed 2-day hiking itinerary ✨ There’s SO much to explore in this ancient city (far more than I was able to capture in 10 photos)—you could wander for days & still not see it all! Which of these spots would you visit first? ✨🇯🇴 . . . . . . #jordan #visitjordan #jordantravel #experiencejordan #explorejordan #discoverjordan #travelgirl #adventuregirl #travelbeyond #petra #wondersoftheworld #7wondersoftheworld #petrajordan
  • We finally made it to Petra & we are LOSING OUR MINDS 🤯✨ This ancient city in southern Jordan was carved into rose-hued sandstone cliffs over 2,000 years ago, and honestly, it’s even more awe-inspiring in person than we could have imagined. Originally built by the Nabataeans around the 4th century BCE, Petra became a vital trade hub connecting Arabia, Egypt & the Mediterranean. The Nabataeans were master engineers and designed complex water systems that enabled them to thrive in the arid desert—Petra even had pools, gardens & fountains at its peak! From the iconic Treasury (Al-Khazneh) to the hidden Monastery (Al-Deir) & Royal Tombs to the High Place of Sacrifice, every corner whispers mysteries of a civilisation that flourished in the most unlikely of places. And OOF we are obsessed ✨🇯🇴 . . . . . . #jordan #visitjordan #jordantravel #experiencejordan #explorejordan #discoverjordan #travelgirl #adventuregirl #travelbeyond #petra #wondersoftheworld #7wondersoftheworld #petrajordan

10 BEST EXPERIENCES IN WADI RUM 🐪🇯🇴✨ 1️⃣ Little Bridge: a picturesque natural arch perfect for a quick scramble & photos 2️⃣ 4x4 jeep tour: half- or full-day jeep tours are the most popular way to see the desert; most tours include stops to - Little Bridge (1st photo) - Khazali Canyon - Lawrence’s House - Mushroom Rock - random lunch & siesta spot - Sand Dunes - Um Frouth Rock Bridge - Burdah Arch Viewpoint (which you can climb later!) - & somewhere to watch the sunset 3️⃣ sport climbing: even though Wadi Rum is best known for its trad climbing, there are about 40 (beautifully bolted, shady) sport routes out here in the desert— contact @hussain_al_zalabieh for guiding 4️⃣ scramble to Burdah Arch: this 3hr return hike offers some of the most incredible views over Wadi Rum 5️⃣ ride camels through the desert: domesticated camels have been used as a source of transportation for thousands of years in the desert & Wadi Rum is a fantastic place to ethically engage with well-treated camels; expect to pay ~$15 for a 1hr ride 6️⃣ watch the sunset over the desert: scramble up the nearest rock pile to watch intense shades of red & orange burn across the landscape 7️⃣ sleep in a Bedouin cave: nomadic Bedouin tribes have lived in Wadi Rum for centuries, settling for a few months at a time in various caves before moving further afield; our friend @rakan_wadi_rum_tours can help organise an unforgettable overnight stay in a Bedouin cave 8️⃣ camel racing: for more than 1400 years, Bedouins have been racing camels in the desert, and if you’re lucky enough to be there during one of the events, it’s SO COOL to see in person! (camel racing reel coming later this week 🐪) 9️⃣ summit a Jebel: Wadi Rum is full of incredible mountains with panoramic hiking routes to the top, including Jebel Umm Ad Dami (the tallest mountain in Jordan) & Jebel Rum (the 2nd tallest!) 🔟 overnight at a traditional Bedouin camp: opt for a luxury tent at @arabiannightsrum , we had the BEST experience here! . . . . . . #jordan #visitjordan #jordantravel #experiencejordan #explorejordan #discoverjordan #travelgirl #adventuregirl #travelbeyond #wadirum #wadirumdesert #camelrace

Climbing in one of the most spectacular deserts in the world, Wadi Rum 😍🧗🏻‍♀️ International climbers have been scaling these red sandstone cliffs since the 80s, when a few European legends teamed up with local Bedouin guides to chart routes all across the desert. Today, there are around 30-40 (impeccably!) bolted sport routes, some spectacular multi-pitch, and an entire universe of trad— but Bedouins are the real OGs. The tribes who live in Wadi Rum have been navigating these cliffs for centuries to hunt, travel & survive in the rugged landscape. BAREFOOT, no less. For the history & the scenery & the complete solitude, Wadi Rum is easily one of the coolest places I’ve ever climbed and we can’t wait to come back next year!! A massive thank you to our incredible Bedouin climbing guide @hussain_al_zalabieh (who made climbing barefoot on hot sandstone look way too easy) + our local pal @rakan_wadi_rum_tours who hooked it all up 🙏🏽 . . . . . . #jordan #visitjordan #jordantravel #experiencejordan #explorejordan #discoverjordan #girlswhoclimb #climbergirl #travelbeyond #wadirum #climbing #climberlife #climbersofinstagram

Climbing in one of the most spectacular deserts in the world, Wadi Rum 😍🧗🏻‍♀️ International climbers have been scaling these red sandstone cliffs since the 80s, when a few European legends teamed up with local Bedouin guides to chart routes all across the desert. Today, there are around 30-40 (impeccably!) bolted sport routes, some spectacular multi-pitch, and an entire universe of trad— but Bedouins are the real OGs. The tribes who live in Wadi Rum have been navigating these cliffs for centuries to hunt, travel & survive in the rugged landscape. BAREFOOT, no less.
