About

I’m Louise, the face behind irishgirlexplores. I’m a hiker from Dublin, Ireland, with a focus on encouraging people to spend more time outdoors.

Through photography and storytelling, I share experiences on hikes big and small, from the Pacific Crest Trail in 2024 to local walks on the coastal path in Devon. My goal is to open people’s eyes to the beauty of nature and, even if they can’t get outside, to inspire and spark curiosity.

I want hiking to feel accessible and worth prioritising, especially for those who didn’t grow up with access to it, like me.

As an ambassador for Hiking Trails, I’m proud to support a platform that celebrates hiking culture while educating and motivating people to step into nature, whatever distance that may be.
