Hi, I'm Gabiba! Runner, hiker, and blogger based in Cape Town. Welcome to my outdoor adventures! Follow me for hiking, trail running, and road running inspiration and tips. I'm afraid of heights, and never thought I'd see Mt Everest or bungee jump, yet here I am! Discover new trails and revisit favourites with me. Check out my blog for my take on gear, training, nutrition, and why the journey is the destination. Share my passion for running, hiking, and facing our fears!
