About me

Hi! I am Miri – a creative writer, passionate reader, and outdoor enthusiast.

I write stories about travelling, historical fiction and Young Adult fiction. Throughout these genres, my creative texts usually deal with topics around mental health and female empowerment.

Studying an MA in Creative Writing and the Writing Industries at Loughborough University, for my dissertation, I am currently working on writing about my solo hiking experience as a woman, weaving in Scottish history and mythology.

Apart from sharing my creative stories, I also want to provide practical information on this blog. Having experienced first-hand multiple times how it is to navigate the jungle of information around trails, multiple-day hikes, the right equipment and how to get to the trails without a car, I want to share my experiences on this blog.

So far, I have mostly hiked in Finland, Norway, and Scotland. I will upload information and stories about these hikes continuously throughout the next months. If you want to be kept up-to-date follow me on Instagram @miris.trail.  I am also happy to answer any questions or receive feedback, either on Instagram or via email (miristrail@posteo.com).
I am looking forward to hearing from you!
