38 | Solo Hiking, Secret Tutoring Gigs & Saying Yes to Kazakhstan – Danielle Hurren on...

In this episode of the Nomad Summit podcast, host Christoph Huebner sits down with British writer, private tutor and long-distance hiker Danielle Hurren. From accidentally discovering nomadism via a Gumtree ad in London to tutoring high‑net‑worth families across Italy, Kazakhstan and beyond, Danielle shares how she built a deeply personal, travel‑rich career around the British education system. They talk about solo female hiking across the entire length of the UK, overcoming fear while wild‑camping on cliff tops, and why the world is often less scary than we think. Danielle also explains how private tutoring turned into a global, location‑independent business, how Kazakhstan stole her heart long before it hit nomad radar, and how Nomad Summit 2026 inspired her to double down on her writing, blog and Substack. Top key take-aways You do not need a grand master plan to become a nomad; Danielle “stumbled” into it by following curiosity, teaching English at summer camps and saying yes to new opportunities. A single tutoring job found on Gumtree led her from London to Tuscany, then into a powerful word‑of‑mouth network in Rome and across Italy. COVID‑19 turned her fixed life in Rome upside down and ultimately triggered her decision to fully embrace long‑term travel and nomadism. Hiking solo from Cornwall to Scotland with a tent was Danielle’s way to reconnect with nature and herself after months of strict lockdown in Rome. Solo hiking and wild‑camping, especially for women, can be both scary and empowering; preparation, basic safety gear and confidence in your own abilities are key. Countries with “scary” reputations, like India, can still be deeply rewarding destinations for solo female travelers when you research, choose regions carefully and plug into local communities or co-livings. There is strong global demand for specialists in the British curriculum (GCSE, A‑Level, IB), and private tutoring can be turned into a travel‑friendly career with agencies plus your own client network. Content platforms like Instagram, a personal blog and Substack help Danielle document hikes and off‑the‑beaten‑path destinations, and Nomad Summit gave her fresh SEO and Pinterest strategies to grow that creative side.
