Wortley grew up in Colchester, Essex[4] before moving to London in 2017.[3]

Inspired by early 20th century French explorer and author Alexandra David-Néel,[5] Wortley has re-created several of David-Néel's journeys, including Kangchenjunga in the Himalayas, Lhasa in Tibet, the Scottish Highlands, the Alborz mountains in Iran, and the Ben Nevis mountain in Scotland.[1][6][7][8]

Wortley will only use her handmade wooden backpack, a yak wool coat, Himalayan hobnail boots, cotton dress, and a linen tent. All things that her ancestors[who?] would have worn and used when they explored.[7] Wortley planned her expedition, 108-mile hike from Lachen, in Sikkim, India, to Kanchenjunga base camp. The journey mimicked the last leg of David-Néel’s journey.[7]
