About me - Hi 👋 I'm Tiff and I'm going solo in my 30s for the first time. I'm currently backpacking carry-on only, travelling full time, sharing my tips, budget and inspiration along the way. As well taking you with me as I feel it all and really learn to find myself and heal again after all these years. I share the highs and lows and lots of laughs. I enjoy spending time outdoors, hiking (though I do complain on the uphill) experiencing new cultures and meeting new people along the way (even though I am painfully shy!) and my goal is to show you that anyone can take a gap year and live life on your own terms.
