Hello, I’m Elif

I walk a long coastal trail a few stages at a time, a week in spring and a week in autumn, with a small pack and a very old pair of boots. The trail runs for hundreds of kilometres along white limestone, pine forest and old ruins above the sea, and I am working my way along it at my own pace.

Every Tuesday I write a letter about a stage: where I slept, what I carried and where I found water. What readers asked for most became stage notes, a packing list, a water guide, an ebook and a course on walking a long trail in stages.
