    Author Bio

    Em

    Solo travel. Adventure.
    I'm a solo traveler in my late 30s with a degree in history and a love for exploring new cultures. I've visited 52 countries since my early 20s. Right now, I’m in the Balkans after a ten-month adventure through Southeast Asia. On the blog, I share tips, guides, and honest insights into solo travel—especially when you're no longer 21!

    Some links I share may be affiliate links—this means I might earn a small commission (at no extra cost to you). Thanks for supporting the journey!
