Biography
Matthew Hyndman, also known as Matty, is a former contestant in the BBC One series of The Traitors.
Matthew Hyndman is one of the most compelling new voices in UK outdoor content, blending breathtaking Scottish landscapes with raw, human storytelling. Having rebuilt his life after leaving a strict religious community, the outdoors became his sanctuary, a place of liberation, resilience and reconnection.
Now based in Edinburgh, Matthew channels that journey into empowering, purposeful content: everything from wild headstands on remote ridgelines to leading his new Wee Gay Hike Club, a fast‑growing LGBTQ+ hiking community bringing queer walkers and allies together across Scotland.
His work is grounded in authenticity and adventure. Foggy summits, rugged trails, cold‑water dips and post‑hike saunas; always captured with warmth, vulnerability and a genuine love for the land.
For brands, Matthew offers a rare combination: striking visual storytelling, a deeply engaged audience, and a mission-led narrative around belonging, freedom and outdoor accessibility. He is the perfect partner for premium outdoor, hiking and travel brands looking to champion inclusivity, empowerment and a richer emotional connection to nature.
