As the mother of three active boys, including one child with autism, Mimi Fiona Hamidon, 38, constantly seeks ways to keep them entertained during the school holidays.

“My boys have so much energy and I need to support them with things that they like to do. I need to match their energy. That’s why my husband and I decided that the outdoor lifestyle would be a good way for us,” says Mimi from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.
