About Me

Hello, I’m Ellie. I’m 32 years old and from England!

I spent all of my 20’s travelling and living around the world, and when I wasn’t doing
that, I was working to save money to do it!

I have been to 65+ countries, all 7 continents and around the world a few times (here’s
where I’ve been)! I’ve travelled most of the world as a backpacker and solo, so I have
picked up a lot of good travel tips and ways to travel along the way which I love to
share on here!

In 2018, after working hard on this blog for a few years, I took the leap to quit my job
in London where I’d been living for 2.5 years and leave my flat to travel full time and
work on my blog full time, and what an amazing decision that was!

I spent most of the 2 years in Asia because I have a soft spot for the Eastern side of the
world including places that other people don’t want to travel to, or don’t think it’s
worth travelling to! Hey Saudi Arabia!

Covid, of course, put a stop to most of my travels in 2020, but because I was nomadic
at the time, I was lucky enough to spend 4 months in lockdown on the paradise island
of Gili T in Indonesia, and 3 months in the very cool city of Istanbul!

I did eventually come back to the UK in 2021, I lived in Cardiff for a while before
moving to Manchester and getting married. I now live in Manchester (very ideally
located near the Airport!) with my husband and 3 stepsons.

You’ll find content on my blog from all over the world whether you need some
wanderlust or you’re planning a trip!

You’ll also find lots of UK content, especially new and fresh UK content, as that is my
focus right now! Hello UK Staycations!

As well as being a content creator, I run group tours. I managed to run my first 2 tours
to India just before Covid at the start of 2020 before the rest got cancelled!

In 2022, I co-ran 3 retreats for Retreats for Muslim Women and a tour to Antarctica!

Group Tours in 2023 include Morocco, Iceland and Pakistan. Click here to see what’s
available! I want to offer you the chance to travel the world with a like-minded group
of women in a safe, but exciting and authentic way!

Hi Ellie, I stumbled onto your site when searching for info on Saudi Arabia. I'm off in a
week to Saudi and Oman. I'm female like you and was wondering if you have any tips
on inexpensive hotels - I know there aren't any hostels, more's the pity!

Are there any groups (like in Iraq and Pakistan) where locals help out travelers? Any an
all help is much appreciated. I'll be away for a month which means cheaper
accommodation is a must! Many thanks in advance, cheers, Ani.

P.S. I have a blog as well but only contains photos and stories, non of the practical stuff.
Take a look if you wish.

Hello, your trip sounds brilliant! It's annoying to see there are still not any/many
cheaper accommodation options in Saudi, I haven't really looked since I was there in
2020 and hoped it might have changed but also I'm not surprised it hasn't! I'm not
aware of any groups but there may be some on FB, I know as you said, there's quite a

few for Pakistan so looking for a female traveller to Saudi group is a good idea! I did
couch surf there which I got on well with, it was my first time doing this but in the
interest of getting cheaper accommodation. (no costs) and meeting locals it really
helped so that's an option and people have reviews to go by. Sorry I can't be much
more help! Enjoy the trip!

Brands I’ve worked with!
