When I first started hiking with OTBT, I thought, “wow, this is pretty cool.” It was hard to find someone consistent to hike with, but OTBT was perfect for going solo while still feeling incredibly welcomed. Through this experience, I’ve met the most wonderful people, many of whom have become great friends.

I never thought I would (or could!) tackle the endurance hikes, carry a backpack, or camp. But the more hikes I did, the more OTBT gave me the confidence to say, “I can do this!” And I did—completing and loving Western Australia’s world-class Cape to Cape multi-day hike, sections of the Bibbulmun Track, and even two incredible trips to Tasmania.

I never imagined I’d find such tranquillity in our beautiful land, but every time I head out, I do.

I also love meeting all our amazing OTBT guests and chatting away—I’m always up for a good conversation!
