Hello, I’m Simone - a vibrant, world record-setting adventurer, writer, public speaker, podcast host, and a mother. Sounds good doesn’t it?! Back in 2017 things looked different - I felt a deep discontent with my job and life in general so I listened to that niggling, unsettling feeling in my stomach urging me to mix things up. I decided to go sailing, having never sailed before. I boldly swapped my comfortable life in London and my thriving film industry career to join an amateur round-the-world yacht race.

 

What began as a plan to race across the Atlantic Ocean quickly transformed into a full-blown passion for adventure. It turns out I really enjoy being in uncomfortable situations over sending emails. I continued until I accomplished the extraordinary feat of sailing around the world.

 

This was a life changing adventure, I learnt that I am resilient and capable in ways I had never imagined.  I was having fun living on the high seas because of the extremes that come with it, not despite them.   

Since then, I have rowed non-stop around Great Britain, earning a Guinness World Record, and I recently became the first woman ever to paddleboard across a supraglacial lake on the Greenland ice sheet during a gruelling 450km, month-long expedition. Thanks to my extreme adventures, my writing has been published internationally. 

 

During the Covid lockdowns, I harnessed my adventurous spirit and launched a podcast, “My Adventure Series”, that celebrates ordinary women achieving extraordinary feats through adventure.

 

Currently, I am working on my memoir, which chronicles my epic journey rowing around Great Britain.

 

These experiences have ignited a passion to inspire others to pursue their own bold challenges. I strongly believe if you want to achieve anything you must be unrealistic in your dreams. Trust your gut against all odds. I love working with individuals, publications and organisations to further that message. Get in touch, maybe we can do something adventurous together.
