The Most Instagrammable Places in Sydney

Hi, I’m Cassie! I’m a solo explorer, neurodivergent writer, and slightly lost soul. It’s nice to meet you!

I left my birth country (the UK) in May 2018, aged 27, and I’ve lived, worked, and backpacked abroad ever since. Knowing I would likely spend a lot of time alone and need a way to nurture my creative side, I began this blog to write and recall my solo travels – the challenges, as well as the upsides.

I was based in New Zealand since March 2020 but just moved to Gold Coast, Australia. You can also find travel guides for destinations in Japan, Indonesia and Southeast Asia, and The Balkans.
