About us
We're scientists and photographers who love outdoor adventures. You can often find us exploring somewhere new, carrying way too many cameras!
Hi! We're Veronica & Brett!
Our story
We met in September 2019 at the University of Exeter's Expedition Society. Our first proper adventure together was an ExSoc camping trip to North Devon, where we learnt we could rely on each other even in difficult situations.
After dating for less than six months, we spent four months living with Veronica's family in the Netherlands during the first coronavirus lockdown.
In September 2020, we moved in together in Exeter for six months. Since then, we've been life partners and adventure buddies, navigating the challenges of a long distance relationship.
While travel was disrupted during the pandemic, we spent a lot of time exploring local stretches of the South West Coast Path. The trail took us down to picturesque coves and up to dramatic clifftops. And so the idea of 'Coves to Cliffs' was born. The name of our 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 our core values
Sustainability
Our PhDs are both related to climate change, so we feel driven to minimise our environmental impact, both at home and while traveling. We are strong advocates for train travel and we 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.
