Did you know that I’m actually half Mauritian? I’ve luckily been able to visit Mauritius a few times over the years and it holds a special place in my heart. I’ve recently returned from the most incredible trip to Marrakech, Morocco, and have previously visited Agadir. I hope to travel more of Africa in the future and will definitely be creating more posts so watch this space.
My favourite continent by far – Asia is a land that spells freedom for me. It was the first place I ever travelled solo. The first step into my new life. I’ve been travelling all my life, but Asia was a place that captivated me like nowhere else had before. Plan a two week holiday or a year’s backpacking trip – check out my Asia destination guides and trip planning itineraries. From the beaches of Thailand to the temples of Cambodia. Swim the waterfalls of Laos, dine on the best street food in Vietnam, explore the streets of Kuala Lumpur or swim with sea turtles in Indonesia. Fancy getting off the beaten track? Sri Lanka is the country for you – a little piece of my heart was left behind. Let me help you with planning the ultimate trip to Asia.
There’s some countries that just connect with your soul and Australia was definitely that country for me. I spent two years over there on an Australian working holiday visa – and it’s an experience I would recommend to everyone. During my two years, I found myself living the longest in Darwin and Melbourne which both became my home twice. I also travelled up the entire East Coast from New South Wales to Queensland during my first year. In my second year, I road tripped and wild camped up Western Australia to the Northern Territory – starting in Perth and finishing in Darwin. I also spent a month road tripping Tasmania and paid a quick visit to Adelaide. My absolute highlights were exploring national parks across the West Coast and Northern Territory, and around Victoria. Find posts on preparing for wild camping, planning the ultimate Australia road trip and living in the outback and scoring second year “farm work”.
Climb aboard the Central America express and prepare for one heck of a colourful adventure with Absolutely Lucy. By far one of my favourite continents to explore – it’s been a magical blend of jungle, beach and desert along the way. Visit Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. From snorkelling and ocean cruising around national parks, to all the tacos you can eat, music festivals and much more. Climb ancient Mayan ruins, volcanos and jump into crystal clear lakes. Central America, you absolute wonder.
Escape with Absolutely Lucy on a European adventure. Whether it’s a weekend city break, a long summer holiday or perhaps even an epic road trip or Interrail. Get off the beaten track in Slovenia or explore alpine lakes in Austria and Switzerland. Get away from the crowds and visit Liechtenstein and tick off the 6th smallest country in the world. Summer holiday in Malta, Greece, Italy or Portugal and top up that tan. Or head to Ibiza and dance until the sun comes up. I’ve got everything from European music festivals to travelling by campervan to hotel hopping from city to city. There are so many amazing options when travelling Europe and it’s the perfect place for a solo female travel adventure.
North America is a huge area of the world and one that I haven’t explored as much as I would have liked. But the parts I have been lucky enough to visit, I’ve created guides plus lots of inspiration posts for helping you to plan your own trips. Posts in this section centre around everyone’s favourite US destination – New York. Plus, I’ve got a range of posts from my most recent trip to Mexico and my road trip with a friend over there. Canada is big on my bucket list, and I can’t wait until I get to go over there and explore properly. But in the meantime, I’ve worked with top brands to create a range of blog posts to inspire your fly-drive trips, road trips and dream holidays over there.
By far the most long-awaited continent I have visited. With plans of spending months exploring Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia and many more. Unfortunately, my trip was cut short due to the panny-d. I had just arrived in Cartagena, Colombia, when the borders started to close and Central & South America went into lockdown. Luckily I made it back to the UK safely – but sadly it has meant my trip has been postponed until a later date. Watch this space for upcoming content.
I’ve always been very lucky to come from a beautiful part of the world – the North Norfolk coast. Growing up, I had some of the best beaches in the UK and some amazing forests just down the road. Over the years I’ve loved enjoying city breaks in London, York, Cambridge, Norwich and Brighton. Some of my favourite things to do are find amazing places to eat including London food markets, heading to UK music festivals or taking a road trip across the UK. Now that I have the camper van, my forays across the UK are more focused on wild swimming spots, best places for vanlife and campervan trips, plus hiking guides and exploring national parks.

Sunday night thoughts 💭
Just a reminder that no-one’s journey is linear and we’re all just figuring it out as we go. So often we forget to take into account the struggles and challenges that have been faced in reaching a dream or a goal.
Solo female vanlife was never in my plan, but it’s been a life-changing journey to get here. So watching the sun set and the moon rise in a beautiful moment of solitude was a real reminder of *holy shit I did it, all on my own!*
If you’re dreaming of getting a camper van, or exploring the world solo, don’t think that it’s out of reach. You’re far more capable than you give yourself credit ❤️
What dreams have you made a reality??

CAMP WILDFIRE - what a weekend! I thought it’s only fair I take you guys along, so check out this day in the life mini vlog I filmed while at @campwildfire to give you a taste of what it’s really like to spend the weekend at a summer camp for adults 🏕️ [gifted]
You guys know I love anything outdoors and I’m obsessed with festivals, so imagine combining the two in a wild weekend in the forest jam-packed with 100 amazing activities and 50 live bands and DJs. That’s exactly what Camp Wildfire is - an opportunity to meet like-minded souls and celebrate life by trying new things, laughing so hard you lose your voice, dancing the night away and leaving with the biggest smile and friends for life.
It’s complete escapism and a chance to be a child again and have fun in the purest sense of the word. Throughout the weekend, we tried quad biking, trampolining, aerial silks, ice bathing, Nerf battles, blacksmithing, bread making, aerial jump, archery, axe throwing and cross bow shooting among many other fun things. We loved the quad biking and got super competitive in the Nerf battle, trampolining took me back to being five years old on my own trampoline in the garden 🤩
For the first time ever I tried blacksmithing and realised I definitely don’t have a career in it, but it’s was so great to push myself outside of my comfort zone. My favourite activities of the weekend were definitely ice bathing with @thenest.health which was an amazing way to try out some breath work. I also loved the aerial silks which I had never tried before and loved so much I’m planning to book a class to do it at home!
As activities came to a close each day, we headed to watch the Patrol Games unfold, each more chaotic and hilarious than the last. We were the Hawks 🦅 and cheered on our teammates with the help of the Hawk leaders who had buckets of enthusiasm and the ultimate CAW CAW!
Then it was on to the wild parties each night - my favourite performance by far was the @housegospelchoir who brought ALL of the energy!
Would you like to go to Camp Wildfire?

Are you ready for the UK’s ultimate adrenaline rush? Look no further than @hangloose_bluewater for an epic adventure without even needing to leave the country! [gifted]
Guaranteed to get your pulse racing - we headed to Bluewater to try out England’s longest Zipline! At over 700m long, this is a zip wire experience like no other and can you believe this is only 40 mins from central London? Skywire can hit speeds of over 50mph as you sail over the trees and across the lake 👀 watch my reel to check out my reaction - it was amazing!
And you don’t have to be central to enjoy the fun - you can also experience this epic zip wire at @hangloose_eden in Cornwall! I’ve done that one before and it’s spectacular 😍 such a thrill!
Not enough adventure for you? Don’t miss Europe’s highest swing! The Giant Swing towers the height of a 22 storey building and is suspended among chalk cliffs, the moment you feel the bottom drop out your stomach is oooffff 😵💫 but omg soooo fun! It’s honestly such a rush - check out my reaction 😂😂
Planning a day out in Kent or Cornwall soon? Make sure you book in and don’t forget to check out their Skydive and Skytrek experiences too!
Would you brave these? Which one would you like to try??

Pizza night at the campsite and I’m all about that wood fired deliciousness 🍕 especially when I’ve got ocean views and a cold bottle of rosé 🍷 stayed outside until the sun was long gone and the stars came out to play ✨
Making the most of these last summer days this weekend with a chilled weekend in the sunset and amazing BBQ last night. How are you spending the weekend?

Wow @campwildfire what a weekend! 70,000+ steps in 2 days and I’ve lost my voice from chatting and laughing with so many amazing humans ❤️
I honestly didn’t know what to expect from this summer camp for adults but what I experienced was a jam-packed weekend of pure, childlike fun and escapism ✨ it was unlike any festival I’ve ever been to before 🎉
A weekend of quad biking, Nerf battles, aerial silks, trampolining, aerial jump, archery, blacksmithing, axe-throwing, bread making and I can’t forget ice bathing!
I haven’t stopped smiling, so many amazing memories made and so many laughs with new friends. I can’t wait to to share more with you all but for now, here’s a reminder that you can already get tickets for next year’s event via the Camp Wildfire website! Don’t miss out.
If you went - what was your favourite moment?
