Welcome, I’m Bex Band!

I often think of my life in two parts: the before and the after.

Before my first big adventure, I was un-outdoorsy, unhappy and weighed down by dissatisfaction.

Then I set out to hike a 1,000km trail, with almost no experience. That journey changed everything. I uncovered a deep love for the outdoors, adventure, and conservation, and from there I began to build a life I’d once only dreamed of. Writing books, sharing my stories, and inspiring others to find their own path and potential through adventuring.

I went on to found Love Her Wild, now the UK’s largest women’s adventure community, and later Ocean Advocate.

Along the way, as well as organising and leading adventures for others, I’ve completed many of my own, including kayaking across the UK to raise awareness of plastic pollution and kick-scooting the length of the USA. One of my proudest moments was organising the End2End Relay, where 700 women carried a baton the length of the UK over 74 days.

Now, as a mum, I’m passionate about showing that having children doesn’t mean giving up adventure.
