Travel writer specialising in solo adventure and experiential travel.
I’m Nika—a travel & culture writer living by the sea in St Leonards. Proud mama of Julieta (first year at U of York so an empty nester for now 😉
Solo adventure and journalistic travel is my jam—not just seeing places but getting under the skin of them. Walking my way to stories – my productivity OS – my feet are wiser than my head, finding cultural connection and a deeper understanding through the eye of an expert, journalist or local.
And the taste of place—celebrating food, glorious food! culture and heritage.
My mission: Blending journalism and travel. Travel inspires empathy – tiny steps towards world peace. Enjoyable education. It’s when I feel most alive and free.
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 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.”
