Exploring the world, one adventure at a time.

Hello. I’m Anna, an adventurer, author, speaker and mischief-maker. I get my kicks from exploring the world through long human powered journeys. On a mission to find the limit of my own potential, I’m hoping to help you unlock yours too. Let’s dance.

WHAT I DO

My Adventures

I’ve run, swum and cycled over 20,000 miles across this precious planet. Have a read about each adventure and transport yourself to far flung lands with tales of derring-do.

THE MCSHOP

Adventure books

From tales of running the length of New Zealand, to cycling the Andes Mountains and a children’s book too. Curl up with one of my five books and let yourself be whisked away on a wild adventure from the comfort of your armchair. They’re also all available on audiobook (for people who can’t sit still).

KEYNOTE ADVENTURE SPEAKER

Motivational talks

Tales of adventure shared with honestyhumour and passion. With a focus on growth mindset, resilience and adapting to change, I have a tale or two that’ll get your business or school fired up and ready to explore the limit of their own potential.

‘THE BIG ONE’

The twins are loving a few wake ups a night (cot rave, anyone?) so we’re back in a zombie haze 🧟 and as a result some good daytime habits have disappeared. Cold water dips being one of them. I haven’t dipped in months. So what better excuse, turning 40, than to promise myself I’ll do 40 cold dips over the next 40 days? The kids love to watch (although I sneak off to do it if I can for the pure peace ✌🏻🧘‍♀️) and Storm is very sweet as she deep breathes through the first minute with me. 🫶🏻So Happy birthday to me!🎈 Does anyone want to gift me a decent night of sleep? 🎁 P.s I still have to psych myself up to do a dipP.p.s I find cold showers even harder to do, which is why we have a cold tub ...
