Hey! I’m Chelsea, a freelance writer, travel enthusiast, and digital marketer from New Zealand.

This blog was born out of my love for travel (and in particular, solo travel as a young adult) and the belief that there must be something MORE to life than just working ’til ya “kick the bucket”.

I started this blog in 2017. After COVID, I took a step back and focused on building my digital marketing business instead. So, alas, there aren’t many new posts lately 🙁

However, I want to keep this site up as there are lots of super useful tips + tricks for fellow travellers (well, I think so anyway!)

The thing is, I feel the most happy, free, and alive when on an epic adventure. If we’re not feeling these 3 things, are we missing the point??

So through my blog, I want to:

• Empower millennials to travel this freakin’ rad planet that we inhabit
• Encourage ya’ll to pursue the badass life you desire. If that means a lifestyle balancing the odd overseas trip with your dream career – then that’s awesome. Your life, your terms.
• Equip ya’ll with some no bull-sh*t tips for conscious living while we trot the globe. Cause while we we’re on our individual journeys we might as well leave the world a better place than when we found it, right? That’s the goal, anyway!

You won’t find super sexy photos of me on Insta in a bikini drinking coconut cocktails by the pool in some 5-star Bali resort. But you will find me – being the down-to-earth Kiwi chick that I am – trying not to fall off bikes in Munich (scratch that – trying to pick myself up after falling off) and over-dosing on way too much gelato in Venice.

Here’s to navigating the big wide world. See you on the road! X
