Travel deeper, worry less
Thoughtful travel, without the overthinking
Hi! I’m Claire.
I left my corporate career in London to travel solo, but I didn’t start out ‘fearless’ – I spent months worrying about money, packing and whether I was making a mistake.
I created Backpacking Bella to help you skip the stress and focus on the magic.
If you’re planning a trip and feeling stuck, you’re in the right place.
You can also find me on Substack where I share reflections and unfiltered stories in my newsletter, Out of Office Adventures.
