Abbie Barnes

Abbie runs Spend More Time In The WILD, a campaign and YouTube channel that seeks to inspire and empower individuals to get outside for the benefit of mental and physical health, while building meaningful connections with the natural world and each other. Abbie’s area of expertise is long-distance backpacking – in other words, she likes to hike a long way carrying heavy stuff. She loves wildflowers, dogs, playing the handpan and maintaining her existence through drinking a never-ending stream of tea.
