Who are The Green Eyed Globetrotters?

We’re Eve and Nick (aka The Green Eyed Globetrotters), and thanks so much for stopping by our corner of the internet.

If you love adventure but can’t—or don’t want to—travel for months on end, you’re in the right place! We believe you don’t have to quit your job to explore the world. Adventure can happen on weekends, holidays, and whenever you can steal some time away and we want to normalise this!

We both love our jobs but equally love discovering new places—especially if there’s hiking involved. So why not have the best of both worlds? Through our posts, we share our passion for adventure and hope to inspire you to follow your dreams and see the world at your own pace.

We met as students and bonded over our shared love of adventure. Since then, we’ve explored over 47 countries together and discovered a passion for multi-day hiking. Despite working full-time jobs that aren’t remote, we keep making time for travel—and even managed to get married on a mountain in Canada! There isn’t a day that goes by without us dreaming about or planning our next adventure.

Our goal is to continue exploring the world together, embracing authentic, immersive travel that goes beyond cocktails by the pool. Whether it’s hiking through Slovenia’s Triglav National Park, snowshoeing in Zermatt, or visiting the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, we’re always on the lookout for our next big adventure. So, where will our annual leave take us next?

If opposites attract, we’re basically a travel magnet. Nick is the history geek who gets excited about rocks and nature, while Eve is the creative photographer and master planner—although Nick’s the one making sure we don’t get lost (most of the time).

Nick’s a Chartered Geologist and works as a Geotechnical Engineer, but when he’s not looking at soil, he’s probably leading a hike in the mountains or trying to find another rock for our collection.

Eve studied Fine Art and Stage Management and now works in TV production. She’s backpacked solo, worked all over the world, and somehow keeps us organized— whilst Nick is busy dreaming about the next summit and challenge to undertake.

Put the two of us together and you get a pretty great team: Nick’s love for the natural world and Eve’s creative eye combine to share our adventures with a bit of fun, a love of planning, and a whole lot of passion!

Nick

Hi, I’m Nick!

My sense of adventure was sparked early on during family holidays to some pretty epic places—Mount Etna, Santorini, Pompeii, and Stromboli. I guess you could say I’ve always been drawn to mountainous and dramatic landscapes.

That fascination led me to study geology at university, where I had the chance to explore some spectacular terrain across the UK and Europe. Since then, I’ve spent much of my free time out in the hills—whether hiking locally or heading off on multi-day treks further afield such as Everest Base Camp Trek in Nepal.

I’m a Chartered Geologist and a qualified Mountain Leader, but more importantly, I just love being outdoors. These days, most of my adventures are shared with Eve—from summiting passes in the Dolomites to navigating trails through Nepal and Slovenia. We even combined our love of hiking and each other by getting married in Canada—where we hiked up a mountain on our wedding day and of course celebrated with snacks at the summit!

Together, we’ve made a habit of seeking out big views, quiet moments in nature—and the occasional interesting rock to add to our growing collection!

Eve

Hi, I’m Eve!

My love for travel began at 16, when I set off on a month-long expedition through the jungles of Mexico and Belize with World Challenge. It was a life-changing adventure that sparked a passion for exploring the world—and I’ve been chasing that feeling ever since!

At University, I spent my summers working at a Performing Arts Camp in New England, using my earnings to travel across the U.S. I discovered new places and travelled across the states meeting friends along the way. Unbeknown to me at the time, I’d one day be doing the very same thing with Nick —who’s since caught the bug for ticking off U.S. states too!

Nick and I have shared some unforgettable adventures. We’ve trekked to Everest Base Camp in Nepal, hiked the Alta Via 1 in the Italian Dolomites, and explored Slovenia’s Triglav National Park on foot. Multi-day hikes have become a favourite way for us to connect with nature and challenge ourselves.

We’ve also been lucky enough to visit Hong Kong and Singapore for my work and Colorado with Nicks. But when we’re not off exploring, we love the slower pace of home life. We live in a cosy 18th-century cottage in the English countryside, where you’ll often find muddy boots on the doorstep, a crackling fire and mug of hot chocolate waiting inside.
