Welcome

I’m Steph Hill, a 47-year-old lone parent, international L&D consultant on human-rights-based projects, therapist, social entrepreneur, tsunami survivor, ex-narrowboat dweller, die-hard optimist, and committed adventure-weaverer.

Travel and I have had a complex relationship. It nearly killed me. It pushed my mental health to its limits. It also healed me through PTSD and grief, gave me purpose, shaped my career, and helped me grow in every way as a human. And just when I thought I might be a seasoned traveller (whatever that’s supposed to mean), motherhood arrived and shifted everything again – new insecurities, tighter budgets, and a whole new pressure to create as much magic as possible in my son’s childhood. 

I created this site to share knowledge and experiences as I continue to explore what it means to take an adventure mindset for me and with my son.
