About

Hi there!

I'm Emma, one half of The Yorkshire Wanderers. While my partner Paul captures the stunning visuals, I'm here to bring our adventures to life with words.

As a writer, I'm passionate about sharing not only our personal stories but also the unique narratives of the cities and cultures we encounter. I believe that every destination has a soul, and I'm dedicated to uncovering its hidden gems and fascinating tales.

Together with Paul, we're on a mission to prove that travel doesn't have to be a luxury reserved for the wealthy. We've ditched the hostels and packed our lives into backpacks, setting off on a mid-range budget adventure around the globe.

From the serene beauty of Switzerland to the bustling streets of Japan and the mouthwatering cuisine of Italy, we've experienced some incredible destinations. But our biggest goal is to inspire others to step outside their comfort zones and explore the world. We believe that travel is about more than just ticking off destinations; it's about immersing yourself in different cultures, savoring new flavors, and learning valuable lessons along the way.

So, join us on our journey as we share our experiences, tips, and tricks for budget-friendly travel. Let's prove that the world is a playground for everyone, no matter your budget.

Let’s wander together!
