Paul Clifford

A family man and 40-something lover of micro-adventures and those everyday moments outdoors that make you feel alive. Trying to fit the outdoors into my family-life and get my family-life into the outdoors!I'm British and currently live in the Loire Valley, 🇫🇷 working as a Komoot Freelance Editor so if you have any hidden hiking or trail running gems that you'd like to share with your fellow Komooters, get in touch!I was forced to run as a young soldier in the British Army back in my teenage years but I am truly thankful for my time as a guardsman 💂‍♂️ which instilled in me a life long love of moving in the great outdoors.My favourite thing to do when visiting a new place or country is to look 🔎 at a map 🗺️ and find amazing trails to run along 🏃 and help me explore the area. I find it's the best way to get to know a place, through it's trails be those, mountain, prairie, urban or coastal.To finish, I love 🏃🏽 in the 🌧️ the most, snowboarding 🏂 in 🇨🇦, and finally I will never be able to choose between running coastal trails or mountain trails, DON'T MAKE ME DO IT!!!
