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.

Solo female traveler ✈️ Author of “Houseplants & Design” 🪴 Polar expedition guide ❄️ “one of the most powerful women in travel” - Condé Nast Traveler

Travel has taught me more about myself than any map ever could. I’ve been a diehard solo female traveler for nearly 20 years (👀 I’m old). I travel solo to reconnect, to be free, to grow.

@lonelyplanet’s new book, Women Travel Solo, captures that exact feeling—through 30 inspiring stories from women around the world, some who are friends of mine, and all who inspire me. I’ve been doing a lot of work with Lonely Planet this year, and can’t wait to share more soon.

Sunny autumn morning at @hapukulodge in Kaikōura ☀️ I’ve stayed on and off here ever since I moved to New Zealand over a decade ago, and their treehouses never cease to amaze me. Curled up with a book, a giant bed, a toasty fire and views for days, it is certainly hard to check out of here.

In about 2 weeks I’ll set sail for my biggest season yet working in the Arctic at sea with @adventure.canada 🐻‍❄️ and I’m really excited! Starting in Scotland, we’ll be heading off to the Faroes, Iceland, Greenland and all around Canada from the remote Northwest Passage finishing in Newfoundland. I love being at sea and guiding, being part of a team that feels like family 😊 feel free to DM if you’re keen to join me on one of these adventures!

Love those clean Antarctic lines 💙

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
