The Roadtrip Girl was founded on the belief that adventure is all around you and you don’t necessarily have to leave your 9 to 5 just to live the travellers dream. My mission is to inspire you to travel while balancing your 9 to 5. Be it local adventures or international travel, it can all be done while keeping your full-time job, staying within a budget and maximizing your 3 weeks vacation. We always give excuses saying we’re too busy to travel and experience our surroundings. We complain about the area we live in and how “boring” it is. Well, I want to prove you wrong.

Here, you will find stories of my little travels and cool finds :)
