Collaborate with a specialist website for people who are inspired by nature and seeking to live a more sustainable, health-focused, active lifestyle, both at home and through travel and outdoor adventures. We help people explore new places, discover new experiences and inform them about gear, events, nutrition and hospitality & travel businesses that makes these adventures possible. We travel for trail races and adventures, exploring new parts of the world and sharing experiences, advice and information with our community through our blog and social media using high quality written, photographic and video content. Our community are lovers of nature and adventure, discerning and adventurous. We know what we like, and work hard to enjoy a healthy balance of:

Enjoying our comfort zone when we’re at home: a cosy, peaceful place to stay, good food, coffee and wine, and great company
Getting out of our comfort zone and challenging ourselves by exploring and experiencing new places through running, hiking and other adventures, with the right gear for the job.

Hi, I’m Helen, one of Trail & Kale's founders. Things that bring us joy are spending time together running, hiking and adventuring in beautiful places around the world, working towards being more self-sustainable and living a healthy, plant-based lifestyle. We changed our lives to realize our dreams and share advice on how you can do the same.

Kepler

Hi, I'm Kepler, the official adventure dog of Trail & Kale! I'm a frisky pup with a love of life, frisbees, and dirt. I write about dog gear and the essence of being an adventure dog 🙂

After years exploring in the UK and Europe, we have been based in the USA since 2017. We write articulate content with a personal voice, from our own experience and offer both a male and female perspective. The reason for our beautiful visual content?
