Cloos on the Loose

I’m always on the hunt for the most interesting way to get between points A and B. My work focuses on nature escapes, off-grid adventures, and surprising urban green spaces that redefine what it means to live well in a big city. In 2022, I kayaked across Scotland via the industrial canals between Glasgow and Edinburgh. Now, I’m section-hiking the whole perimeter of England on the country’s brand-new, 2,800-mile coastal path.

You can find my editorial work in The Guardian, The New York Times, The Denver Post, Outside, Backpacker, Gossamer, Fodor’s, Travel Channel, Outdoors.com, and the REI Co-op Journal, among many others. My brand clients have included Enterprise Rent-a-Car, Oru Kayak, the Adventure Travel Trade Association, Outdoor Industry Association, Afar, the Matador Network, Ibex, and others.

I’m a vetted member of the Outdoor Writers and Photographers Guild, the British Guild of Travel Writers, and the Adventure Travel Trade Association.
