Travel writer and journalist specialising in solo adventure and story-led travel for women.
I’m Nika—a journo, adventurer and author with 25+ years of experience across radio, TV, print, digital and social.
My passion is solo travel and slow adventures—not just seeing places but getting under their skin. 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, communities, journalists. Secondhandfirst stories and the taste of place.
My mission: Blending journalism and tourism. Travel inspires empathy – tiny steps towards world peace 🙂
I’ve worked with global media and brands, including the BBC, Emap, News UK, DMGT, Bauer, Wizja TV, Foxtel, Expedia Group, Weber Shandwick, Havas and Publicis Groupe.
Author of 12 books on health & wellness. I mentor through the NUJ and host a Writers’ Café in Hastings & St Leonards.

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