🤩 MEET THE TEAM 🤩This is Ada!Joining us this year for her first season at Adventure Okehampton, Ada is a super friendly, relaxed & adventurous addition to the team!Her favourite outdoor activities are Climbing & Hiking, along with Running, which has seen her complete a 100km run along the South West Coast Path. She's also been out with the team exploring some of Devon's finest climbing spots this year. But prior to this year, Ava's interests have taken her further afield to some other pretty awesome places..."I've been in outdoor industry for a couple of years now after uni. Over the last 14 months, before Adventure Okehampton, I was leading Kayaking and Hiking expeditions out in Hong Kong, and before that I was in Scotland!In Hong Kong I was leading 3-9 day Sea and Land expeditions for an educational charity. I particularly loved getting to meet instructors from Hong Kong and around the world and learning about their cultures. Also exploring the National Parks in expeditions and on days off. Around 40% of Hong Kong is country parks - which was much less urban than I thought it would be. We often went on Climbing trips across the weekends to crags which have great views of the city.There were a few challenges during my time out there. Crazy weather with typoons and thunderstorms could be quite stressful, forcing important safety decisions whilst on expedition. There were also many language barriers. I tried to learn Cantonese from locals, but there are 9 different tones & a mistake could easily offend. Lastly wild boars which could steal your rations and be a pain on expeditions!Overall, I had a really fun 14 months. I'll be going back in October and I'm really looking forward to it!"She's looking forward to helping people challenge themselves this season & sharing her love for the outdoors with others. "I really love seeing & helping people overcome their fears & doing something they can be proud of".#outdoorinstructors #outdooradventures #adventureokehampton#expeditions#explore#liveyourbestlife#lovefortheoutdoors #globalexploration #devon#dartmoor#okehampton#climbing#hiking#running#youonlyliveonce...
