481 Corinne Kowal ~ Adventure on the Cape Wrath Trail

<p>I'm excited to introduce this week's guest, Corinne Kowal. I first discovered Corinne on Instagram, where I saw that she was planning to hike the Cape Wrath Trail, which has been on my bucket list for a couple of years now. I avidly followed her preparations for the trip, and couldn’t wait to hear more once she returned.</p> <p>The Cape Wrath Trail is often considered to be one of Britain’s most challenging trails, mostly due to its remoteness and rough terrain. I find it appealing because I love the idea of being out alone on the trails in such a wild part of the country. I hope you find this episode inspiring!</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>About Corinne</strong></p> <p>German, born and raised in France, I have studied in NYC where I started working, moved back to Europe where I met my husband, and we have subsequently lived 11 years abroad (Berlin, Brussels and Madrid) before moving back to France.</p> <p>I am the mother of 3 children: 2 boys aged 12 (almost 13) and 9 and a girl who is 5 and a half.</p> <p>I am a self-taught interior designer and property renovation manager.</p> <p>I have always been a walker if not a hiker. My parents weren't very sports-inclined but the Sunday morning walk in the nearby forest was somewhat of a ritual.</p> <p>We used to spend holidays as children in the German pre-alps in Bavaria (between Munich and Salzburg) where we hiked up some easy paths.</p> <p>I took up nordic walking while living in Berlin over 10 years ago and have been able to practice it regularly since moving back to France 4 years ago.</p> <p>Living pretty much in the center of the Fontainebleau forest has enabled me to walk on a regular basis to prepare for the CWT.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>Corinne’s Links</strong></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <ul> <li><a href= "http://instagram.com/talesofascottishjourney">Instagram</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.corinnekowal.com">Website</a></li> <li><a href="http://instagram.com/corinnekowal">Instagram</a></li> </ul> <p><strong> </strong></p>
