Hi, I’m Emily!
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!
