Hi! I am a 33 year old solo backpacker who, for the second time in her life, has given up the corporate world to pursue a love of travel! I genuinely love visiting new places and finding secret gems. I'm well known in my social circle for being the one to get up at 4am to hike to a random sunrise spot, just because I overheard someone in the hostel 4 cities ago mention it - because what is life if not for the plot! I have a varied travel style on a random budget, so stay in a wide range of accommodations from dorms to private guest houses, eat street food for lunch and dinner at a fine dining restaurant. I like to experience it all. So come along on this journey with me, and see some of the best kept secrets the world has to offer!
