Hi, my name is Elaine (everyone just calls me ‘E’) – welcome to my site!  My true passion in life is to not only learn more about the world around me, but I hope to make a positive impact (however small) wherever I go.  I believe in creating authentic experiences through sustainable & responsible travel.

Travel is more than just a mere hobby/interest for me; it has defined who I am.  And every journey I take makes me feel immensely grateful and humbled at the beauty that our world has to offer. Venturing off into the countryside with my little backpack refreshes my soul and reminds me that our worth is not defined by our material possessions, but by how we enrich ourselves on the inside. & that is why, no matter how tight my budget, travel will always be a part of my life.

Most recently, we have been blessed with our little Monkey, who I hope will enjoy the memories we will make exploring together.  The landscapes, wildlife, people, and cultures he will be exposed to will shape his character – building confidence, compassion and adaptability.

I came across this quote a number of years ago, and they’ve become my words to live by (thank you ‘Anonymous’):

When you take the road less traveled and follow your dreams, you will experience a renewed passion for your life – and it will bring back the sparkle in your eye 🙂

I created this page so that I can share my experiences with you, as well as all of the things I learn along the way.  I truly hope that you will find the information here useful for your own trip planning & encourage you to share your own experiences with me as well.

Thanks for visiting,
E

P.S.  Please check back periodically as I am madly typing away right now.  Thanks for your patience!
