About Me

Why hello there! My name’s Danielle and if you haven’t guess already, I am a tad obsessed with travel.

By day, I am a 20-something year old girl living in a very unexciting small Essex town, commuting to London for my day job as a UK tax advisor for high net worth individuals. By night (…or weekends/days off work/public holidays), I am a travel mad, skyscanner lover who can’t bloody shut up about my desperate need to travel the world.

Every now and again, I like to leave the corporate lifestyle behind to embark on long-term adventures (my favourite kinds of trips). In 2018, I negotiated a sabbatical with my employer and headed to South America solo for 3 months travelling from Chile to Ecuador – you can read my full itinerary here! Fast forward a few years, and the COVID-19 pandemic left me with extremely itchy feet, so I quit my job and spent 7 months travelling with my boyfriend through Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia before flying to Cape Town solo to spend 9 weeks travelling overland to Nairobi, experiencing 10 countries along the way.

When I realised that my friends and family are bored of listening to me continually talking about my trips and where I’d like to go next, I thought it was time to set up a little travel blog. I read enough of them, so why not join the party!
