About Ells
I’m Ells, sharing honest travel stories, practical tips and memorable moments from the places I visit.
One of my personal goals was to visit 30 countries before turning 30 years old, and I’m proud to say I’ve now achieved that milestone. Reaching 30 countries taught me that travel isn’t just about ticking destinations off a list—it’s about the people you meet, the cultures you experience, and the memories you create along the way.
My Background
While I’m not a full-time nomad, I make the most of every opportunity I get to travel, using each trip as a chance to learn, explore, and step outside my comfort zone. Come along for the views, itineraries and lessons learned.

My Travel Story
I’m a twenty-something with a genuine passion for travel and discovering cultures that are different from my own. While I’m not a full-time nomad, I make the most of every opportunity I get to travel, using each trip as a chance to learn, explore, and step outside my comfort zone.
Here, you’ll find honest, experience-led travel stories and practical insights based on my own journeys. Everything I share comes from personal experience, and I believe that’s what makes travel so meaningful — everyone experiences a place differently. If you’ve visited somewhere and felt differently, that’s okay. Travel is about forming your own opinions, connections, and memories.
Travel isn’t just about ticking destinations off a list—it’s about the people you meet, the cultures you experience, and the memories you create along the way.
