I am a solo female traveler who LOVES to try new things. To me, life is a compilation of experiments with a goal towards self-discovery. I value personal growth and adventure through travel and hope to service others in their own journey.
Being up for experimenting and trying new things wasn't always the case. I was a perfectionist who did not want to mess up in fear of rejection and damaging my self-worth. It took a lot of self-love and patience to build the confidence that I have today. I worked my way up from a completely guided tour to living abroad alone in a van. See my timeline below. If I can do it, you can do it and I'm here to help support you through that.
Travel History:
2005 - First international trip to Vietnam (with the family)
2013 - South America for the first time for a study abroad trip in Bolivia
2017 - Guided solo trip (2 months in Vietnam)
2020 - Couples trip to Canada (ended early because of COVID 😢)
2022 - Improvised solo trips to Italy and Vietnam
2023 - Moved abroad alone to New Zealand...and started living in a campervan full-time
Cheers,
Mai
