Hey, I’m Dan – Welcome to My Journey!

For years, I was a workaholic, juggling 60+ hour workweeks, a part-time degree, and additional courses. My life revolved around work, constantly pushing toward career aspirations. But in 2021, everything changed. I hit a low point, a period of darkness that forced me to stop, step back, and truly focus on my own well-being for the first time.

​

That shift changed everything. I started embracing self-care, slowing down, and appreciating the beauty in everyday life. Living in Newquay, I realised I had been missing every sunset, every unique moment of the day, too caught up in the grind to even notice. The pandemic reinforced what I was learning: life is too short to let it slip away.

​

By 2022, I knew I needed a change. I had already reached my career aspirations set at the age of 16, and so after years of planning and reflection, I finally took the leap. At the end of 2024, I handed in my notice, closing the chapter on my old life to embrace adventure, exploration, and a deeper connection with the world. Now, in 2025, my journey truly begins.

​

The Adventure Ahead

I’m kicking things off with one of the biggest challenges of my life: walking the entire 600-mile South West Coast Path (SWCP). This trek will push me to my limits, both physically and mentally, but it’s just the start. From there, I’ll be backpacking across the UK and beyond, embracing rough sleeping, immersing myself in new cultures, and eventually working remotely as I explore different countries.

I invite you to follow my journey—the highs, the challenges, the lessons—through:
📍 TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook for real-time updates and captured moments
📝 My blog for in-depth reflections, tips, and a touch of the outdoors

This isn’t just about travel—it’s about reclaiming life, embracing the unknown, and finding adventure in every step.

Join me on the journey.
