About

Hi, I’m Nicki. This is the story of how I left home for a little jaunt around the world in September 2014, and haven’t stopped since.

Just over one week before my 26th birthday I packed my bag, said goodbye to my family and friends and boarded a plane to Hanoi, Vietnam. My original plan was for five months of travel in South East Asia, one month in Australia and a one-year working holiday visa in New Zealand. After that, things were a little undecided.

Now I am 36. I have visited home but haven’t returned to what would be considered a full-time ‘normal’ English life since my departure.
