I’m Emily, a twenty-something Aussie, now calling London home. I traded golden sandy beaches for the hustle of city life, taking what I like to call ‘The Detour’ - an untraditional lifepath from those of my friends and family back home.

Since moving here in 2022, I’ve visited over 20 countries. Whether it’s a beach, mountain, or desert, I’ll always take the scenic route… even if it means spending the night in a van on the side of a motorway.

If you’re after travel tips, recommendations, or a glimpse into Aussie life in London, I might not be an expert, but I’ve certainly picked up a few stories (and a few lessons) along the way!
