about honest explorer

Hello! I’m Sam and welcome to my site! I’m a British backpacker who has been solo travelling on and off since 2007. Slowly making my way around the globe as a solo female traveller, I have now made it to every continent except Antarctica (one day!).

Just over a decade of travel has taught me a lot and I’m here to help you, to inspire you and to give you the advice and confidence for your own solo adventures.

How I got started as a solo female traveller…

I started travelling aged 18, working on a wildlife sanctuary in South Africa. This is where I caught the travel bug and have been on and off travelling ever since. From teaching Buddhist monks in Sri Lanka, sleeping outside Bangkok station, exploring famous New York City or struggling on the Inca trail, it’s fair to say I’ve had my share of adventures.

My aim is to encourage solo female travel, particually for first-time travellers. Being a solo female traveller is life-changing, challenging and rewarding. It certainly made me into a much more confident person and if I can help you do the same I’ll be happy.

My honest and easy read blogs have tips, advice, travel guides, inspiration and general travel stories from my experiences. Happy reading!
