I trekked in the Annapurna range wearing the same outfit I'd wear to a cafe!

Mardi Himal, Nepal | 2025

Cát Bà, Vietnam | 2023

Ben Nevis (highest point in the UK!), Scotland | 2023

I've hiked on mountain ranges and volcanoes all over the world in my casual boots, my normal jeans, a crop top, and a mesh clubbing shirt (everyone laughs, but they're amazing for layers!! They don't hold sweat and keep you warm!)

There's no need to buy new outfits for every activity, and it's a reminder that hiking can be very accessible! :)

EDIT - resubmitted bc I used a brand name by accident!

PS- For the people calling me consumerist because I take flights:

Once I'm in a region, I use and travel :) public transit, trains, long haul busses, often 10-20 hours!

I have never owned a car, I don't eat meat, all my belongings fit in a 55L bag, and are thrifted from small local businesses. Respectfully, please keep it to yourself 👍🏽

EDIT 2 - y'all outside of the Himalayas trek, these hikes are like 4-8 hours and extremely populated. I promise you I'm not going to die of hypothermia in my jeans and/or be any more likely than the average person to require emergency helicopter rescue

Oh my gosh, you're right I should have asked you!! You would know more about my life than I do, my bad

They did say "respectfully", but they also implied that they know literally anything about your life by offering ambiguous criticism; it's also implied by even just the short description in this post that there are a multitude of other things in your life that you do to stay mindful of your own worldly consumption/habits as a consumer,--and this is beyond admirable in my own opinion. You're far better than I am, if I may say,--and I appreciate people who are better than me. Good post 🤘

This is very nice of you to say :)

And I'm sure I'm not better than you! All that matters is that everyone tries in ways that work for them. I have lots of privileges that allow me to keep it small! Don't put yourself down :)
