Hi, I’m Lauren!😊

Welcome and thanks for being here!

I’m on a mission to inspire you to travel more, spend less and have your own wild and lovely adventures around the world.

I am a coffee and cat-obsessed travel writer from the U.K., specialising in travelling solo and as a couple, living and working abroad, slow and sustainable travel, and travel on a budget.

I’ve been travelling for 15+ years and visited 38 countries so far. I’ve lived in 7 different countries, travelled full-time in a campervan in New Zealand, taught English in Japan and hiked across Scotland.

My aim is to share my experiences and help travellers like you learn how you can travel for longer and have more authentic travel experiences.
