In July 2022 I will be attempting to thru-hike the entirety of the Via Dinarica White trail unsupported. It is a 1300Km trail through the Balkans. It is estimated around 80 people have ever walked the trail in it’s entirety. So for 2-3 months I will walk with just a rucksack on my back and nothing else, place one foot after the other and sleep outside. I will carry all my food, gear and water. The trail goes through Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Montenegro and Albania. If you would like to learn more about the trail, have a look at the following links!

 While I’m sure this walk will be tough, it is nothing compared to the hardships  many people experience. Hence, I’ve decided to take this opportunity to raise some money for Project PEARLS. A charity working to provide children in the Philippines with basic human rights, focusing on nutrition, education and healthcare. Across the Philippines they conduct hunger relief programmes, scholarship programmes and health clinics. Especially due to the effects of COVID-19, these are children who live in unimaginable poverty and desperately need aid. Being half Filipino, the work that Project PEARLS does is very close to my heart and I hope it will be to you too. The goal is to raise £1300 for a 1300Km trail!
