About us
Hey there! We’re Viv & Kev.
Two London-based city people who spend a lot of our free time wondering where the next trail will take us.
By day, we work 9 to 6 jobs in the city. But whenever we get the chance, we trade office lights for mountain sunrises, crowded streets for quiet trails, and weekends in London for a few days somewhere wild.
We’ve never really seen ourselves as expert hikers or hardcore adventurers. We’re just two people who love being outside, trying new things and seeing where a trail might lead.
And somewhere along the way, hiking became our favourite way to travel.
We travel to slow down
For us, travel has never really been about ticking places off a list.
It’s about the 4am starts, the long days on the trail, getting a little bit lost, reaching a summit when your legs are telling you to stop, and sitting quietly somewhere beautiful with nowhere else you need to be.
The adventures we remember most aren't necessarily the ones where we saw the most.
They're the ones where we had time to breathe.
A long walk through the mountains. A few days without a signal. A conversation with someone we would never have met at home. Watching the weather roll across a valley. Taking the slower route because there was no reason to rush.
That’s what we want to share.
From city life to the trail
We started Indescribable Moments because we wanted to share the joy we found outdoors and hopefully make it a little easier for other people to find it too.
Over the years, we’ve gone from weekend hikes to multi-day adventures, taking on some of the world’s most incredible trails and mountains, from the Laugavegur Trail in Iceland and Everest Base Camp in the Himalayas to the Dolomites Alta Via 1.
We’ve also stood on summits including Mt. Fuji, Mt. Kinabalu, Mt. Toubkal and Mt. Yari.
But some of our favourite memories have nothing to do with reaching the top.
They’re the small moments along the way. The people we meet. The unexpected detours. The meals after a long day. The views we weren’t expecting. And occasionally, the mistakes we definitely weren’t expecting.
Why Indescribable Moments?
We created this space for people who want to get outside, but might not know where to start.
Maybe you’re a city-dweller looking to escape for the weekend. Maybe you’ve never done a multi-day trek before and have no idea what to pack. Or maybe you’re already dreaming about your next hut-to-hut adventure.
We’re here to help.
Our content sits somewhere between inspiration and a handbook — beautiful enough to make you want to go, but useful enough to help you actually get there.
We share detailed hiking guides, itineraries, practical tips, gear we actually use, and the things we wish we’d known before setting off.
Everything comes from our own experiences: the trails we’ve walked, the places we’ve returned to, the gear we’ve tested and, yes, the things we’ve got wrong along the way.
We don’t want to just show you where to go.
We want to help you get there.
We believe in travelling thoughtfully.
The more we travel, the more we realise how lucky we are to experience these places.
That means we care about how we visit them.
We try to choose slower ways of travelling where we can, respect local communities, stay on marked trails, follow local regulations, support local businesses and leave places as we found them.
We don’t believe beautiful places should be gatekept.
We believe they should be shared responsibly — with the information people need to visit safely, respectfully and with a little more awareness of the place they're stepping into.
Because seeing somewhere is one thing.
Taking the time to understand it is another.
So, welcome.
Indescribable Moments is our little corner of the internet for anyone who wants to spend more time outdoors.
For the experienced hiker looking for their next challenge, the first-time trekker wondering where to begin, and anyone who simply wants to spend a little more time somewhere beautiful.
We’ll share the trails we’ve loved, the places we’ve returned to, the mistakes we’ve made and the things we wish we’d known before setting off.
Because we don’t just want to show you the destination.
We want to help you get there and make the journey worth remembering.
