About

Hey! I’m Amelia

Printer & Graphic Designer by day, travel blogger by night. And a Harry Potter-obsessed tea enthusiast™ the rest of the time!

I make stuff–

make
Verb
Form (something) by putting parts together or combining substances; create.

–And I travel (yearly, much to the dismay of my boss – mwah ha ha!)

So I thought, why not mix those two together?

I’ve travelled to more than 13 countries since 2013, and my work has been featured on the Japan National Tourism Organisation blog and Healthy Way.

I am NOT going to tell you how to quit your job and travel the world

Hell, I’m not even going to tell you TO quit your job and travel the world. That’s way too much responsibility for my liking.

Plus, I’m not a “I quit my job to travel the world” kinda blogger.

That’s the dream. But for right now I’m smashing the 9 to 5 grind – ew – and travelling and creating in my spare time.

I AM going to give you the tools to Travel, Create, and Inspire

Imagine being a fashion stylist or aspiring designer, and exploring Tokyo for the first time. Absorbing the eclectic vibes of Harajuku, or hunting through vintage clothes in the incredible thrift stores of Shimokitazawa. You’d leave with so much inspiration.

Travel is a powerful motivator for creativity.

Why Do I Want You to Create?

I’m glad you asked! Beautiful things are proven to stimulate dopamine. When we look at or listen to something we find beautiful, it induces the same brain activity as being in love.

Yep, it quite literally lights up the pleasure center of our brain.

That means beautiful things make us happier people…coz science ✌️

Every Type of Creator Should Travel

I’ve met every kind of “creative” you can think of in my travels; music producers, fashion youtuber/stylists, jewelry designers, wine makers, cooks, writers & poets, ceramic artists, graphic designers, and more.
Here, you can learn all about where to meet inspring people like this yourself!

Creativity links us, but adventure inspires us!

And travel doesn’t need to be far and wide.

Adventure is 3 hours from where you live, and 13,000 kilometres from where you live. It’s exploring your own city! This blog is about all types of travel, not just far-flung destinations. A staycation, an exotic escapade, whatever it may be, I say get it boo.

So What are We?

Look, I don’t expect to be the only travel blog in your life.
I like you, but it’s a little soon…

What I do want is to help you get off the beaten path, to embrace your inner child, and to create.

Aaaaand when all that is done, we dance terribly to the best song in the world Wannabe by the Spice Girls.

Why? Because I really really really wanna zigazig ah.

Yours, Amelia xxx
