While living in Cambodia, Claire was building houses for those in need, showing tourists the beautiful countryside and exploring the Angkor Wat temples on bikes. She also worked an office job while there and hit a moment when she needed to reconnect with her love for travel, so took a trip to Nepal.
When covid hit, Claire returned to London and had the travel blues big time. She realised that this feeling was something that wasn’t talked about enough and it got her thinking more about mental health.
Claire has now founded an incredible project, Mind Over Miles. It is a group of Mental Health Advocates that are spreading awareness of the positive impact that outdoor adventure can have on your well-being.
Their first big project involved a team of three people cycling from Lands End to John O Groats (one end of the UK to the other). Her goal is to one day cycle from London to South Korea and bring along anyone who might be interested.
Claire is all about being open to new adventures and saying yes. After travelling to 32 countries, she has a wealth of knowledge of the world and we only scrape the surface of some of her adventures.
