I've spent 12 years writing about solo female travel at Backpacking Bella. After a decade in corporate marketing I took off to travel the world solo for a year, and I've been chasing slower, more deliberate trips ever since, through India, Thailand, New Zealand and Japan. Originally from the UK, now based in Brussels. These days I also help burnt-out professionals plan their own career break to travel, and I write about all of it on my Substack, Out of Office Adventures.
