About Em

Hey! I’m Emily

I’m a twenty-something, coffee-loving traveller from London.

I’ve been backpacking the world since September 2nd, 2018, after finally being diagnosed with Depression and Anxiety. Determined to change my life and mentality around, I moved to Spain for two months to learn Spanish, flew to South America, travelled around India, explored Malaysia, ventured around SE Asia and started life in Australia before flying back to London to spend some downtime with family. My next trip will be post COVID, hopefully flying back to Australia before I continue onwards to New Zealand but all in good time. As part of my ongoing trip, I blog to raise awareness of travelling solo as a female who suffers from mental health issues, so in years to come I’ve got something fun and truthful to look back on – show the grandkids and all that jazz.

I’m excited for this adventure to continue and share the highs and lows with you along the way as I continue travelling the world. It is my hope that people in the same position will be able to relate to the stories I open up about and in turn feel less lonely and isolated as I share thoughts, feelings and emotions along this journey, as well as providing tips to fellow travellers, with or without mental health problems, to make your adventures easier to organise. I hope you have as much fun catching up with me on my journey as I have had writing about it.
