Finding Solace in the Lake District
Filled with trail notes, folklore, reflections, landscape photography, and emotional cartography - my debut Finding Solace in the Lake District traces a soulful, meditative journey through the mountains and lakes of Northern England - where solo hiking becomes a ritual of resistance, and nature a space for healing and self-discovery.
