Kumbi in her own words: "I'm Kumbi, a fun loving adventurous woman. I was born and raised in Zimbabwe and came over to England to study nursing when I was 18. I love all things outdoors, from climbing, hiking, camping, cycling. I am a senior nurse in the NHS, and I have been very thankful that I have the ability to go outdoors and destress. It is one of the places that I am able to practice Mindfulness, which has kept me grounded through some of the most challenging times that I have experienced during this pandemic. I hope to share my love and inspire others to explore and be adventurous!"
