Hi! I’m Marlou and welcome to my blog. I’m a full-time traveler and part-time travel writer, happy to share my tips and tricks with you. From destination guides to general travel tips and tricks.
Background
I was born and raised in the Hague, the Netherlands. For as long as I can remember I dreamt about traveling. I was particularly interested in Australia, kangaroos, koala’s the great barrier reef, what and amazing country! So more than once after watching a docu with my parents about Australia I would ask them if we could please go to Australia on our next yearly holiday. Unfortunately the answer was always “No, we’re going to France. When you grow up and make you’re own money you can go to Australia”.
So, the good kid as I was, when the perfect opportunity opened up and I had the chance to study abroad for a semester in Melbourne, Australia I decided to go for it! Not only was this my first solo trip, but also my first time traveling more than a week or two and my first time away from Europe. Sounds scary? It was! But I never regretted it for a second and I couldn’t have made a better decision. This is when I fell in love with traveling and I haven’t stopped since. My just under a year in Australia (yes mom and dad, I’ll be back before Christmas) turned into 1.5 years (sorry mom and dad, but we can Skype!) and I’ve spent most of my time abroad ever since.
Current Journey
So having quite some experience traveling, working, living abroad lots of people asked me for advice. I learned that I just LOVE talking and writing about traveling and helping my fellow nomads out. I’ve heard you should start a blog so many times, and I said I will start a blog at least as many times. And now, over a year later, I finally did it. So I hope you are enjoying it and finding it useful.
Thanks for reading and happy wandering!
Marlou
