I remember being excited about what type of food I’ll be eating while on the TMB. So I thought hmm, maybe some of you will keen to know about it before hitting the trail! It didn’t help that I couldn’t find a lot of information on this prior […]

I hiked the Tour du Mont Blanc anti-clockwise from 10th to 19th September of 2017 and had a truly unforgettable time. The TMB was my second long- distance thru- hike and it was the toughest yet best thing I have ever done in my life thus far. It […]
While out in the trail, it’s usually just me physically moving my feet and hands, but in my head, especially during and after certain difficult sections, thoughts naturally just pop in and sometimes they persist, like constant reminders.
Finally. The day has come. The final day of Tour du Mont Blanc. I really love Refuge La Boerne by the way. It’s a quirky looking place with tiny surprises at every corner(tiny 1-person rooms at the corners of a ceiling etc). Plus the staff were friendly and […]
Started the morning with breakfast buffet at the hotel. Had bananas for the first time on the trail and it was so nice for a change from the usual bread and jam combo. Think I had like 2 servings worth of bananas, cornflakes with barely any milk(lactose intolerance […]
Today felt rather uneventful, other than my lunch location at Alp Bovine(1987m). I started my day rather late than usual, waking up at about 7.30am. Didn’t have a good night sleep I think bc it rained the whole night. Cold. So cold. The heatpacks from decathlon worked great […]
Yesterday night was cold, as usual. Camping out is fun but I only wish that one of these days the temperature would be perfect… Anyway, I woke up at about 6.45am(reluctantly), brushed and went up to camp reception to get my pre-ordered pain aux raisins. Met the lovely […]
Woke up at about 6.45am at the toasty Bonatti. Didn’t want to wake up at all bc it was so comfortable. Breakfast was the best so far – Crispy bread with nice jams, coffee/tea/milk, cereal, cheese. All great. Then Maja, Eva, Laura and I left at 7.30am into […]
So last night I had a really nice stay in the hotel at Courmayeur, and woke up at 6.45 for the breakfast. The entire hotel felt so empty… Like it was just me and a couple of people. Naturally because it really is a ski town and it’s […]
