About me

I'm the founder and manager of Coves to Cliffs. I'm an environmental social scientist, a photographer, and an outdoor adventurer. I'm currently in the final year of my PhD at the University of Exeter, where I'm researching visions for the future of food production in the England.
Hi! I'm Veronica!


While travel was disrupted during the pandemic, I spent a lot of time exploring local stretches of the South West Coast Path. The trail took me down to picturesque coves and up to dramatic clifftops. And so the idea of 'Coves to Cliffs' was born. The name of this blog, but also an outlook on life: you can't always see what's around the next headland, but more than likely, there will be both coves and cliffs – periods of rest in between challenging climbs. Just keep on walking.
Sustainable storytelling: living my core values

Sustainability
I am an environmental social scientist, so I feel driven to minimise my environmental impact, both at home and while traveling. I am a strong advocate for slow travel and I always adhere to the Leave No Trace principles.

Storytelling
As a blogger, it's temping to get sucked into the world of SEO and affiliate marketing. I value authentic storytelling over what's likely to be most successful on Google or social media. More than anything, I want this blog to be a collection of memories and stories, not yet another marketing tool.
