Memoir in Progress

I’m currently working on a memoir focused on my solo travel experiences to six continents and the way those experiences have shaped me.

Having been lucky enough to visit six continents (just need Australia!) and most of them as a solo female traveller, I’m compiling my stories to reflect on what it means to travel solo, how it has challenged my ideas of the world and myself, and what I’ve learned along the way.

Catch a sneak peak of my stories and behind the scenes of my creative writing journey on my Substack, Spinster-esque.
