After retiring from 20 years in business management, Kym has happily been able to devote more time to her true passions—enjoying an outdoor lifestyle, staying active, and travelling. With a background in Physical & Outdoor Education, her love for sports and outdoor activities has been a part of her since childhood. Having also spent several years tour managing overseas, Kym believes joining OTBT as a guide has been the perfect fit and an incredible opportunity. She loves exploring and guiding others along the amazing trails WA has to offer. “I’ve been lucky to travel a lot, but I still feel so fortunate to call Perth and the South-West home, with our beaches, National Parks, and forests to enjoy, and now being able to share these experiences with our guests,” says Kym.
When she’s not on tour with OTBT, you’ll likely find Kym at her local beach, cycling, or planning her next adventure. Her travel highlights (so far!) include an unforgettable trip to Antarctica to kayak with whales through the ice, skiing in Canada and Japan, and time spent in Italy. As for hiking, she’s crossed off iconic international trails like the Inca Trail, Patagonia, the Italian Dolomites, and Ama Dablam in Nepal—but her list of trails yet to explore, both in Australia and worldwide, is still growing!
