Hi, I’m Lucy Fuggle
I’m an adventurer and writer in love with mountains, forests, and the Arctic. I’m also a business owner, author, ex-tech person, and redhead who needs SPF 50 here in Denmark.
I was born on a sheep farm in England and grew up with plenty of quirks (that I later found out were Autism Spectrum Disorder, PTSD, and anxiety disorders).
Back in 2015, I moved to Switzerland for love, lived alone by the mountains, and wrote a book about it. I now live in Copenhagen with my husband, Iain, who I married in a treehouse by a loch in Scotland.
I do things differently, but it hasn’t always been that way. I grew up pushing myself to get straight As at any cost, because that is what others expected of me. I thought if I didn’t get a first-class degree I would be a failure. I thought my career was a measure of how good at life I was.
The map I was told to follow didn’t work for me. I had to create my own. And I had to do it intentionally, reverse-engineering the details of my ideal life to meet where I was in the present.
I’ve created my own art of living well – and I want to help you create your own, too.
