Living her Best Life after 50 – with a Pair of Hiking Boots…
Snowy Creek Bridge, Rees Dart Track, New Zealand
Hello! I'm Belinda,
an Aussie who sprouted from New Zealand soil, with a thirst for wilderness adventures. I turned a longing gaze into strides with my first hiking boots in 25 years, finding joy, freedom, and a touch of the wild. Join me as I swap business trips for starlit camps, and learn that life's golden moments come when you wander freely.
