What we’re about
Welcome to KoZa Trails, your passport to hiking adventures!
From local hikes to international trips, I'll handle the planning so you can just enjoy the adventure.
About me
I'm an experienced hike leader with 10 years of organising and guiding adventures across the UK and abroad. As a qualified outdoor first aider, safety is always my top priority, ensuring everyone has an unforgettable experience.
My love for nature was born in a small village in the Bulgarian mountains, where I spent my childhood exploring goat paths and falling in love with the outdoors. This is where the name KoZa comes from—Bulgarian for "goat."
Moving to England allowed me to explore the world differently. I discovered hiking, which transformed my life. Through hiking, I met amazing people and experienced the world in a new way. Now, I'm passionate about sharing this with others—whether it's travelling, meeting new people, or uncovering hidden gems in the great outdoors. I find joy in helping others conquer challenges and in taking the stress out of planning, so everyone can enjoy the journey.
Why I started this group
I created this group because I know how hard it can be to plan a hiking holiday on your own. Many people miss out on amazing experiences because they're not confident hiking alone, don't have the time to organise everything, or just don't know where to start. That's where I come in! I love planning trips and taking care of all the logistics, so you can just show up and have a great time.
What to expect on my trips
- Expertly Planned Trips: Carefully researched itineraries that blend popular spots and hidden gems.
- Small-Group Adventures: I aim to create trips that feel like exploring with friends. We focus on relaxing days out—hiking, enjoying nature, and visiting interesting places without feeling rushed.
- Supportive Atmosphere: A friendly environment for hikers of all levels, where you can make new friends and create lasting memories.
- Personal Challenges: Opportunities to push your limits and achieve personal goals.
- Safety First: Safety-first approach with a qualified first aider (me!) always on hand
Whether you're a seasoned hiker or new to the trails, KoZa Trails offers something for everyone. I'm also happy to create customised trips for groups of friends or colleagues—let's make your dream hiking holiday a reality!
Join me, and let the trails lead you to unforgettable adventures. Together, we'll explore breathtaking landscapes, push our limits, and create stories to last a lifetime. Welcome to the KoZa Trails family!

- West Sussex Day Hike – History, Woodlands & Peaceful TrailsVictoria Station, London£29.00
Tucked away in the heart of the South East, West Sussex is a county of charming villages, rolling hills, ancient woodlands, and a rich historical tapestry. Known for its Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and picture-perfect countryside, it’s a true walker’s paradise.
Our walk follows stretches of the Sussex Border Path and the High Weald Landscape Trail, winding through ancient woodlands, open fields, and quiet valleys covered in bluebells and wild garlic.Along the way, we’ll pass the scenic tracks of the Bluebell Railway, a beautifully preserved heritage line where vintage steam trains still run. We'll also get a glimpse of the Gravetye Estate, once home to William Robinson, the influential 19th-century gardener who revolutionised English gardening with his naturalistic style. His work at Gravetye Manor helped lay the foundations for the "wild garden" movement, and his legacy can still be seen in landscapes and gardens across the UK today.
A highlight of the hike will be our stop at The Priest House in West Hoathly, a picturesque 15th-century timber-framed hall house. Once owned by Henry VIII and later by Anne of Cleves, the house is steeped in history and surrounded by charming gardens filled with herbs, traditional roses, and cottage flowers. It's a perfect spot to pause and soak up the peaceful atmosphere of this timeless corner of England.Important Information:
