Roz Purcell is a broadcaster, outdoors enthusiast and creator of The Hike Life. She is one of Ireland's most influential online personalities, as well as the author of four books and the host of the Roz and Emma show on RTE2fm.

Roz began her career as a model, but it was only after she quit the profession and started her hugely successful food blog "Natural Born Feeder", that her career really took off. Her passion for cooking and her love of great-tasting, wholesome food shone through and encouraged people to see food as both fuel and a pleasure, to be valued and enjoyed. As she grew her social media following with the development of mouth-watering recipes, Roz also began to introduce her followers to her other passions, in the form of travel, self compassion and hiking videos.

The popularity of Roz's hiking content showed a demand for more informative, accessible guidance on getting out into Ireland's great outdoors. With that knowledge, she has been credited with leading a resurgence of mountain walking for a new generation of Irish people. She runs the Hike Life community which offers free hiking events for people alongside mountain leaders & shares informative guides for trails across Ireland whether you’re a beginner or experienced hiker. The hike life is also her brand new book covering in detail her favourite top 50 hikes around Ireland.
