About the author

Liz

Hi, I'm Liz, and I got my first taste for traveling when I was 16 years old. On my own, 10 years and 50 something countries later, my wanderlust has only grown and the list of countries I want to visit longer.

🌿✨ 36 hours in Singapore 🌿✨

A city where gardens grow sky high and every detail is intentional, from the bold design at the new @qtsingapore to the misty magic of Cloud Forest. I can’t believe I have never done a proper stopover in Singapore til now. Come for the architecture, stay for the orchids, and don’t sleep on the rooftop views. Take me back please!

Who is Young Adventuress?

Hi, I'm Liz, and I got my first taste for traveling when I was 16 years old. On my own, 12 years and 50 something countries later, my wanderlust has only grown and the list of countries I want to visit longer. After living in Spain for the past few years and returning home for a stint, I then quit my job and moved to New Zealand and I've been here ever since. Follow my misadventures as I wander, eat, and photograph my way around the world
