about athena.

I’m Athena, an adventure lover, dreamer, writer and photographer. My creativity is inspired by the beauty and simplicity of nature; the earth in its most pure and natural form. Pine trees, sea salt, wildflowers, waking up to a morning sunrise with a steaming Yorkshire tea and a cool breeze. Woolly jumpers, roadtrips, collecting pine cones from forests and pebbles from the beach.

I am an explorer at heart, a free-spirit that finds it hard to stay in any one place for too long. My legs are constantly moving, my mind whirring, my fingers tapping. I live for adventure, whether it be a ramble in the Peak District or four months cycling around New Zealand. The list of places I want to go and things I want to do is infinite, and only getting infinitely longer as the days go by. But I couldn’t imagine a life without dreams, a life without the unfamiliar.

This website contains my photography, writing and adventures, big and small. So have a look around and see what you like, and I hope I can inspire you to go outside – even if just for a second, to feel the warming sun or stand under raindrops.
