“You have to trust that once you put your feet on the trail, it’s just going to take you.”

On this episode of Talking Outdoors, Menna, an avid rock climber, hiker, free diver and overall outdoor enthusiast, sits down with LHO founder Rami to talk about her new role at Life Happens Outdoors and the exciting new trajectory that both she and our community are about to embark upon.

As with most of us who grew up in urbanized families, Menna followed a traditional professional path and led a successful career in the venture capital and startup ecosystem in Egypt.

“The nature, the mountain, all this creation is going to enchant you and challenge you and you’re going to enjoy it.”

Over time, she began to explore the outdoors and has found herself investing ever more time towards her passion for experiences in our natural environment.

Today, Menna is part of the awesome team behind the LHO community and is spearheading its transformation into a space where adventurers can not only join experiences, but grow, learn and even become professionals themselves.

For more information about any of our LHO experiences led by Menna, please reach out to us on [email protected]
