Walking my way to stories.

Solo adventure travel, positive impact, cultural tourism.

I’m Nika—a writer and journalist living on the Sussex Riviera. Proud mama to Julieta (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, journalist or local.

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

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

Empowering women to explore the world. Friendship and freedom.

In a nutshell, I love a good story.

I believe in the power of words to connect people and create a more compassionate world.

For the scenic, more rugged route (my 30-year career) grab a cuppa and go here.

Come on in, the water’s lovely!


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.”
