My Story

Hi, I’m JJ

I’m a travel blogger from the the UK. I love a good adventure and have a passion for misunderstood places, hidden gem destinations, adventure travel and responsible tourism. I love to get off the beaten path and explore some of the most unique destinations in the world.

I have a particular soft spot for ex-soviet states, disputed territories, countries that don’t officially exist and the Middle East.

I started to seek out some of these more unique destinations and experiences back in 2018.

Since then I have…

When I first started to engage in this more adventurous style of travel I relied heavily on travel blogs, guidebooks and other travellers to help me to find the most unique experiences.

However, I quickly realised that a lot of the blogs I was reading were written by men and oftentimes the experiences they had in some of these more challenging destinations simply weren’t safe or even available to me as a young woman travelling alone.

I didn’t want to let that stop me from exploring these places and no way was I about to let the guys have all the fun! So I quickly had to adapt and learn how to navigate offbeat destinations safely as a solo female traveller.

Today I like to think that I’m an expert at it!

That’s why I created this blog. I want to help adventure travel become more accessible to women.

I’ll teach you how to…

find hidden gems (even in some of the world’s most popular destinations!),

Gain the confidence to travel solo,

Seek out the best adventures and the most unique travel experiences,

And inspire you to travel to some of the world’s most unique, off-the-beaten-path and misunderstood travel destinations!
