Phoebe grew up in an area affectionately known by the National Press as 'Costa Del Dole', where she was constantly told she couldn't and shouldn't aspire to ever leave and pursue a life of adventure. With no female role models in the media to inspire, she thought the outdoors was not a welcoming place. But then after working in pubs and saving all her money she embarked on a trip to Australia that would change her life. She discovered a free and easy way to explore the natural world - wild camping.

Since then she's become a self-confessed extreme sleeping addict, eschewing her bed to sleep wild whenever she can - from caves to mountain tops, disused farmsteads and under giant boulders – if it's in a wild place she wants to take her sleeping bag and experience a wild night out. She has since seen her love of wilderness take her on solo adventures all around the world – from Everest Base Camp in Nepal, to portaledging in trees in the Bavarian Alps and bedding down inside glaciers in Svalbard – the last stop before the North Pole.

In 2014 she became the first person to camp at all the extreme points of mainland Britain, solo, on consecutive nights. Wanting to use her passion for sleeping wild to change the lives of those who don't get the choice, in 2017 she gave up her Christmas to raise money for Centrepoint (the young people's homeless charity), by Sleeping the 3 Peaks and raising over £8k. In 2018 she completed a 10-night Extreme Sleep Out where she slept dangling from 10 UK landmarks for charity, raising a further £20k and for Christmas 2018 she raised over £16k by walking from Sunderland to Cumbria, solo, sleeping rough and dressed as Wander Woman in her self-devised Hadrian Hundred for Homeless.

In 2017 she teamed up with fellow adventurer Dwayne Fields to begin the #WeTwo Foundation. Phoebe and Dwayne believe that the next generation – from all walks of life – need to see and fall in love with the wonderful wilderness and wildlife of their local areas and understand the relationship between what we do here and how it affects the rest of the world (and vice versa) so that they will fight to protect it.

Their aim is to inspire the next generation using the tool of adventure. The Foundation runs an expedition every other year, taking a group of underprivileged young people to key destinations all over the planet. On each expedition, they will be taking part in citizen science: helping with vital research and adding experience to their own CV. Pre-trip they will be 'paying it forward' by participating in environmental, conservation, and youth initiatives in their local communities.

Seeing as the focus is on responsible and sustainable adventures, before each trip all participants will plant enough trees to offset all carbon emissions produced on the expedition.

By doing this the #WeTwo Foundation will be ensuring that the legacy of #WeTwo becomes #WeToo. We are not trying to re-write the achievements of explorers of the past - which we respect and admire deeply, but we simply want to help diversify what so far has been dominated by one 'type' of person. This will empower everyone to realise that they can achieve their goals no matter what and that you can do so while also protecting nature for everyone.
