Author: Natalia K. Adventure Blog

Greetings my dear reader. My name is Natalia and I am a 28-year-old Marketing with Advertising graduate from around the Midlands in England. I love to travel and do loads of road trips, but above everything, I love climbing adventures with my climbing buddies. With this blog, I would like to be able to note down my thoughts and share my adventures I can look back at in years’ time with a smile on my face. I am also on a search for more exciting adventures and self-development. Since I absolutely adore natural world I also want to develop my knowledge and skills to reduce as much waste as I can that is bad for the environment. I like feedback and others input so I always want to hear other people’s experiences and ideas.

The most incredible encounter- Orcas, the killer whale

February 21, 2021.Reading time 29 minutes.

As I stood there looking more to the east, I head a big wushhh sound right from the west so I quickly looked around, and right there, as clear as the Pacific ocean is, there were 4 orcas AKA the Killer Whales!!!

Thought- getting an exercise routine.

February 6, 2021.Reading time 12 minutes.

So, I have been aspiring to get more physically fit ever since I did my first ever Wolfrun, about four years ago. I have already been climbing back then for a bit, did some yoga practice at home and occasionally did a small arm or core workout, but everything was all over the place. I […]

To get back down you can try and walk down, but since it’s very steep there is a much more innovative way for it which is sliding on our asses!

Settling in – Work/Travel in Canada

January 9, 2021.Reading time 10 minutes.

So the first few weeks after my isolation has ended have been super busy trying to sort bits out while starting work.

At the beginning of last year, I have decided to finally fulfil my goal of coming to Canada for some climbing and hiking adventures in the BC mountains. I knew that a long holiday would not be enough, and since I was single at the time I have decided to apply for an IEC visa […]

Visintig Norfolk

It has been a very busy last few weeks. Recently, I have not been out as much since some on my family members contracted COVID ( I believe I’m immune since I didn’t get it) and outdoor climbing adventures have not been pencilled in on my to-do list. Instead, I have been chilling at home, […]

A Dream of White Horses

September 26, 2020.Reading time 14 minutes.

This iconic 140m, 4 pitch HVS 4c, 3-star sea cliff climb is UK classic!!! After reading a little bit more into it, and gaining some knowledge from fellow climbers that have done the route themselves, I felt my current confidence and experience was enough to have a go at part leading it safely.

Tryfan has been on my bucket list of places to hike for a while now. My friend, which has hiked the North Ridge before have said that this is an exceptionally excellent route to challenge yourself on with navigation skills, steep hill walking and scrambling. Perfect walk on a sunny day, with a most beautiful […]
