OSPREY AMBASSADOR
SABRINA ALLAM
Hi, I'm Sabrina Allam, a Sydney based hiker, photographer, and content creator. Since 2017, hiking has taken me from local trails around Sydney to multi day adventures in New Zealand, the Tour du Mont Blanc, Mount Toubkal, and the Himalayas. Outside of my day job managing medical clinics, you'll usually find me somewhere outdoors with a camera in hand. More than anything, I want to inspire more people, especially women, to plan their next adventure.
What has been your most memorable adventure so far?
Definitely road tripping across New Zealand’s South Island with my mum. It was both of our first campervan trip and we went all in with a huge 6 berth just for the two of us. Waking up to mountains, cooking dinner by the lake, and just soaking in every bit of it together. But what made it truly special was watching mum completely out of her comfort zone. Seeing how much joy she found in the simple things, long days on the road, cooking meals by the lake, and being excited for every new stop, that’s something I’ll never forget.
What adventure pushed you the most mentally or physically?
Everest Base Camp and Annapurna back to back. I did them in the middle of winter, so we're talking -25 degrees on top of my first time at higher altitude. Physically some days were tough, but what I love about longer trails is that you wake up the next morning re-energised and ready to go again. What feels massive as a whole becomes very doable when you take it day by day. Coming out the other side definitely left me hungry for longer and bigger trails.
If you could go back to when you first started exploring the outdoors, what advice would you give yourself?
Not to wait around for people if you want to get outside. I spent years missing out on adventures because I was waiting for schedules to line up or for someone to come with me. I’d tell myself to build the skills and confidence to start hiking solo earlier. It completely changed everything for me.
We are super excited to follow along all of Sabrina's adventures over the year, make sure you follow her on Instagram/TikTok/Youtube to stay up to date with her epic trips! @sabrinaallam_ ⛰️
