Meet Absolutely Lucy

Hi, I’m Lucy, a solo travel expert from the UK with a love for adventure, slow travel, vanlife and music festivals. I've spent a decade solo travelling the globe and living abroad in nearly 60 countries. It's been an incredible journey, but it all started with the decision to travel.

Now, 10+ years on – my passion for helping women to feel confident & safe to travel the world solo hasn't changed and it remains my mission. I'm the founder of Solo Adventure Gals – a 2000+ strong community of solo female travellers. I'm also a full time travel blogger & content creator who works with tourism boards & travel brands to promote travel. Travel has changed my life.

But what made me want to travel the world? I was 25 and stuck in my hometown working a job that didn’t fuel my fire, in a relationship that was falling apart. I felt stifled, stuck and knew I had to make a change. It was the biggest decision of my life to quit my job as a journalist and to leave my 9 year relationship to travel the world – but I knew I was making the right choice.

Over the next decade, I backpacked solo across Asia and Europe – hiking through jungles, volunteering at an elehpant sanctuary and with children, hot air ballooning at sunrise in Sri Lanka. I spent two years on a Working Holiday Visa in Australia – working as an au pair and in bars, camping wild in national parks and hiking mountains as I road tripped across Australia.

I fell in love and after road tripping across Australia and Europe together, I moved to Germany where I built a life and even started hosting events for expats, growing a community of over 1,000 fellow travellers. When that relationship ended, I took refuge in solo female travel, finally making my dreams of backpacking Central & South America solo.

Starting in Mexico, I backpacked solo through the jungles of Belize, Guatemala and Costa Rica climbing volcanoes, snorkelling and lazing on beaches. I hit the surf in Nicaragua, ventured into the beautiful colonial towns of Panama then danced my way into Colombia just as travel ground to a halt in 2020.

My abrupt return to the Uk seemed the perfect time to invest in a camper van of my own and I road tripped across the UK. I also took the decision to base myself in the UK with my new partner and our first home together. I'm now based in beautiful Norfolk. After 10 years, it was a much-needed end to my full-time travels, but my love for travel remains and I currently travel all over the world working with travel brands and tourism boards. 

If I had never booked that first solo trip, I wouldn't be living my dream life now. Now, I help other women to take their first steps towards solo travel, so that they too, can live their dream lives. Why not join my community, Solo Adventure Gals, by clicking below?
