I’m Hazel, a British travel blogger based near London in England.
I have travelled solo throughout Europe, the UK and USA, and I’m here to help you do the same.
On this blog, you will find a focus on European countries such as Italy, Cyprus, Portugal and Spain (including the Canary Islands). I have travelled to these destinations many times and have written lots of guides to help you get the most out of your visit.
You will also see a section dedicated to New York City, which is my favourite destination outside Europe.
Solo travel is a different experience to travelling with a group, and I aim to help solo travellers get the information and confidence they need to get out there and do it.
I have not had a chance to write much about my home city of London just yet, but rest assured there will be lots of articles coming soon!
