My blog is aimed at solo female travellers (especially those in their thirties and over) who want to explore the world safely, smartly and well – and have fun doing it! People who like to combine new experiences with a bit of adventure. If that sounds like you, some of my destination guides, itineraries, city guides, and food posts should help you get planning!

From epic road trips in Canada and the USA to eating my way around cities in Vietnam, to boarding down volcanoes in Nicaragua… I’ve been lucky enough to visit a lot of really amazing places around the world.

Whatever you’re looking for, search below – or browse by continent and country to explore.

UK Travel Blogs

I was born and raised in the south of England and have travelled the UK pretty extensively, especially my favourite region of Dorset. The UK is one of the biggest destination categories on my site! Check out some of my top UK content below, or click to browse by country:

Booking Your Trip

Skyscanner – Hands down the best flight search tool. Results show prices for the same flight booked thorugh a variety of travel agents and sites.

Hostelworld – The best place to search for hostels & budget accommodation.

Booking.com – The best booking site for all types of accommodation. It usually has the lowest prices and the widest range. I highly recommend downloading the app to manage your bookings and search on-the-go (app prices are sometimes slightly cheaper, too).

It will also link to the official site to buy your visa from: beware of third-party visa sites that will charge an additional fee to source your visa for you.
