Solo Female Travel & Adventure - written in white text over a photo of british blogger Emily Luxton. She is facing away from the camera with a view of Oaxaca city in front of her. She is wearing white shorts and a black t-shir with an orange cloth backpack on and a pink and yellow flower crown on top of her head.

I’m a full-time UK travel blogger focusing on solo female travel, fun, and adventure!

I’ve been travelling the world for over a decade – usually solo – and have visited over 60 countries. I’m always looking for the next adventure (but nothing too extreme, I’m still a wimp at heart!).

This blog is all about helping other travellers – especially solo female travellers – to get out there and see the world. I’m all about overland travel (think road trips & train rides), getting out of your comfort zone (in a fun way!), trying new food, and prioritising experiences over sights.

Much as I love travelling the world – I also LOVE exploring the UK. I was born in Southwest England and have lived here most of my life – I even wrote the Lonely Planet Devon & Cornwall guidebook – so I’m very much a local expert!
