I fell in love with the gym, fitness, and all things good for the body when I met my husband 15 years ago. He introduced me to a world I didn’t know. I wouldn’t have known a dumbbell from a kettlebell, let alone what a burpee was! But meeting him opened up a whole new understanding of what a healthy life is really about, and I’ve never looked back.

Over the past 15 years, we’ve been fortunate enough to combine our passion for travelling the world with our love of fitness, which means we’ve explored gyms as we’ve explored the globe. My fitness journey has taken me from 12-week challenges to bodybuilding competitions, running the City to Surf, boxing classes (I’m a big UFC fan and even attended a live event), and dipping my toes into yoga, pilates, and swimming. I’m now a huge fan of HYROX too.

Fitness has also helped us conquer the four-day Machu Picchu hike in Peru (which I highly recommend) and even climb an active volcano in Guatemala. We also love playing other sports such as Pickleball, despite it gifting me a spectacularly broken foot within the first five minutes of playing. Don’t worry, I was back on the court 18 months later, and I still love the game. There’s even a blog on this site about where to play Pickleball in Vietnam.

I’d say I’m the kind of person who’ll give almost any workout a go. Almost. You won’t find me rock climbing, sorry climbers, it’s just not my thing.

In this blog, I share my real, unfiltered experiences while travelling the world. Most of the time, it’s gym reviews, but occasionally I also like to share a travel experience that I think you might relate to.

Life is too short, enjoy every moment, travel, try new things, and if you have a question for me, let me know. I’m always happy to share my insights with you.

Thank you for reading my blog!

See you in a gym somewhere around the world soon, I hope!
