Walking my way to stories.

Solo female travel, positive impact, cultural tourism ✨

I’m Nika – a writer and journo living on the Sussex Riviera (St Leonards on Sea is THE place to be!). Proud mama to Julieta, in her first year at uni so a free bird for now 😉 – and ready for some more solo adventures.

Experiential and cultural travel is my jam—not just seeing places but getting under the skin of them. Walking my way to stories (my feet are wiser than my head), finding deeper connections through the eye of an expert, reporter or local.

And the taste of place: celebrating food—our universal language— and preserving heritage.

My mission: Blending journalism and tourism. Travel inspires empathy—tiny steps towards world peace.


Since 2020, I’ve been building Bold Types, recommended by Hotflash Inc. as “a really helpful newsletter for the intersection of writing, the digital world and entrepreneurship, which can be a lonely place for many of us.”

Adventures in journalism, from a genXy writer who walks—your weekly hit of optimism and grit.

A heart-first community for wander women.
