Ann Holmes

Ann is a UK-born journalist who left her local newsroom for a life of full-time travel. She can usually be found trying local experiences, or writing about them. The outdoorsy type, Ann is most settled in her natural habitat - on a mountain, wearing a fleece, a mass of pink hair atop her head. Ann is also the co-founder of Adventure Pending, a website sharing the best, outdoor and adventure gear in the UK.
