Hi, I'm Christina, a digital nomad and solo traveller!
I gave up the office job and hectic London life to travel and work on the road in September 2017. I’ve been called brave, intrepid and young-at-heart. All I know is that I had had enough of commuting and being tied to a desk. So I retrained, strapped on my backpack, and swapped my high heels and office suit for my sneakers and a life of working on the road. And I haven’t looked back!
Why travel?
I’ve been a life-long traveller. In fact, I got on my first flight when I was 15 days old! And so it came as no surprise to those who know me when I said that I was going freelance to travel solo as a digital nomad. I needed to see more of the world and working on the road was the best way to do it. There are so many of us now, especially since the pandemic, all of us making the most of a better-connected world, good WiFi and flexible working. I may be one of the first to do this but I won’t be the last.
What do I do?
I am a copyeditor and proofreader. And I’m always looking for ways to give back. That could be through volunteering at home and on the road, supporting community projects and disadvantaged people, or helping others make their travel dreams come true. Like travelling and working solo!
Can this work for me?
I created this website because I know there are many others out there – especially women – who want to travel but are afraid to go solo. Use this site to get a flavour of what this lifestyle is like and how I’ve navigated my way through it. Use the resources pages to prepare for a trip and land on your feet. Find the confidence to travel solo and enjoy it!
If you want to know how I managed the work transition, this is my story: Proofreading my way around the world.
Who should read this?
Anyone! The emphasis is a heavier on solo women and anyone over 35-ish. There are fewer of us around, and the challenges we face are a little different to those someone in their 20s comes across. But I’m here to inspire and encourage you to get on the road, no matter who you are, how old you are, or how much time or money you have. I travel solo for the most part, but I am rarely alone unless I choose to be.

Be well, be happy and enjoy whatever adventures being on the road brings you!
