Hi, I'm Davina, and this is why I do things differently
If there's one thing to know about me, it's that I haven't followed the normal path. I have a free spirit, love adventure, and believe life is for living, not just working. Whether travelling without a plan or taking coastal walks, I'm drawn to experiences that give me freedom ... Out on the trail with my backpack and poles, because normal life was never for me! Like most people, I didn't start out with that freedom. I followed the expected path, worked hard, and did what I thought I was supposed to do. But it never quite felt right. Then I became a mum, and everything shifted. I didn't want to miss the moments that matter!I never want to feel like I have to choose between earning a living and being there for my boys. That's when I found a different way to work. One that gives me flexibility. One that fits around my life, not the other way round. Since then, things have changed more than I ever imagined. I've walked hundreds of miles along the beautiful UK coastline. I've taken on challenges that pushed me outside my comfort zone. I've said yes to opportunities I once would have talked myself out of. From Everest Base Camp to the South West Coast Path, these experiences have shaped me. They've taught me resilience, confidence, and the power of taking that first step. But this isn't just about adventure. It's about what lies beneath it. Freedom. Choice. Time. Being there for the people you love. Creating a life that truly feels like yours. Because let's be honest, it's easy to get stuck. Life gets busy. Costs go up. And before you know it, you're | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
