Who am I?

Hey there! I’m Evelien, a passionated traveller, storyteller and the voice behind this blog. Im 30 years old and come from a small country called Belgium. 

I started traveling when I was a kid with my parents. When I was in college, I started gradually to travel more with friends and going to a lot of different European countries. 

When I graduated I had my first backpacking trip to Colombia to visit my sister, who was living there at the time. I had my return tickets home but decided to go solo for a month to Mexico. 

This was one of the best decisions I ever made, I completely fell in love with traveling. I have met the most interesting people, saw amazing ruins, got really into Spanish and relaxed on cristal clear beaches. When my trip came to an end and I had to go back home, I was already dreaming of my next adventure. 

I’m from Antwerpen, its a beautiful student city in Belgium.

I am 30 years old. 

It’s a difficult choice, but I really fell in love with the charm of Colombia. The people are very friendly, the beautiful landscapes and its diversity.

And so I did, I went from Central and South America to Asia. In all the years I have been traveling I have lived in Mexico, Colombia and California. I have seen so many interesting places, people and cultures. For me traveling is more than just visiting as many countries as possible, it’s about really understanding different people, different cultures, habits, food and so on. 

I understand going on your first solo trip can be overwhelming, I know when I first started out it was overwhelming for me. I had so many doubts and fears about going solo, and I made quit a few mistakes on my first travels. That’s why I started this business helping other women to overcome their doubts and fears and feeling more confident on going alone. I hope with my insider tips you can feel more relaxed going on your adventure.
