Emily Scott: Leaving full-time accountancy for a life in the mountains

Emily Scott feels her happiest in the mountains. So over the last few years she’s made big changes to her life to enjoy them nearly everyday. Emily used to be a full-time chartered accountant in London but she’s now a ski instructor in the winter and in the past few summers she’s worked for travel companies hosting treks in the Alps. In between these seasons she takes on extraordinary endurance adventures and in 2018 she climbed all 282 Munros in Scotland in under 4 months. She’s transformed her life in the past few years - and I wanted to hear how she did it, what it’s like working in the outdoors industry, how she manages to take on these big physical adventures, as well as the pluses and minuses of her change in lifestyle. You’ll find Emily on Instagram at @adventure_scottie. She’s also part of @thebritishadventurecollective . The Outdoors Fix is a podcast produced and hosted by Liv Bolton @liv_outsideuk
