Travel writer and journalist specialising in solo adventure and story-led travel for women.
I’m Nika—a writer, adventurer and author living by the sea in St Leonards. Proud mama to Julieta – just started at U of York so an empty nester for now 😉
Solo travel and slow adventure 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 cultural connection and a deeper understanding through the people who live there: local families, journos, communities. And the taste of place – celebrating culinary culture and heritage.
My mission: Blending journalism and tourism. Travel inspires empathy – tiny steps towards world peace 🙂
In a nutshell, I love a good story. I believe in the power of writing to connect people and create a more compassionate world.
For the slightly longer squiggly version (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.”
