About Me

Absolutely Lucy is the multi award-winning solo travel blog for adventurous women who refuse to settle for ordinary lives, and for anyone who's rarely seen themselves reflected in the adventure travel space. It's packed with expert solo travel advice, inspiring and authentic adventure stories, and in-depth destination guides.

Here, you'll discover lesser-known destinations, alternative ways to experience popular places, and a slower, more meaningful approach to travel that helps you connect deeply with the world and yourself, beyond sightseeing checklists.

This is a space for women who crave freedom, growth, and unforgettable experiences. I'm also the founder of Solo Adventure Gals – a thriving community of 2,500+ solo female travellers supporting each other worldwide.

Meet Absolutely Lucy

Hi, I'm Lucy – a solo travel expert from the UK with a passion for adventure, slow travel, vanlife, and music festivals. Growing up Anglo-Mauritian, I rarely saw anyone who looked like me in this space – so I set out to become that representation.

That online travel diary became a lifelong mission, and eventually my job. Over the past decade, I've travelled solo through nearly 60 countries and proved you can become anything you set your mind to.

Today, I'm a full-time travel blogger and content creator, working with tourism boards and travel brands, and the founder of Solo Adventure Gals, a supportive global community of 2500+ solo female travellers.

But this journey didn't begin with confidence.

At 25, I was stuck in my hometown, in a job that didn't inspire me and a relationship that no longer felt right. I felt trapped and disconnected from the life I wanted. So I made the hardest – and best – decision of my life: I quit my job as a journalist, left my nine-year relationship, and booked my first solo trip.

Over the next decade, I backpacked solo across Asia and Europe – hiking through jungles, volunteering at elephant sanctuaries, and watching sunrises from hot air balloons in Sri Lanka. I spent two years in Australia, working as an au pair and in bars, and road-tripping across the country.

I fell in love, moved to Germany, and built a thriving expat community of over 1,000 travellers. When that chapter ended, I returned to solo female travel – fulfilling my dream of backpacking Central and South America alone.

Starting in Mexico, I travelled through Central America to Colombia – climbing volcanoes, learning to surf, and finding strength in my independence.

When global travel paused in 2020, I returned to the UK, bought a camper van, and road-tripped the country. I built a new life, found love again, and settled in beautiful Norfolk. I'm no longer travelling full-time, but my passion for adventure remains stronger than ever.

Today, I continue to travel worldwide, working with brands and tourism boards – and helping women everywhere believe in themselves. Because if I hadn't booked that first solo trip, I wouldn't be living my dream life.

Now, I help other women take their first brave steps into solo travel and take up space in the industry – so they can create lives filled with confidence, freedom, and unforgettable adventures too.
