My goal is to encourage and inspire other travel dreamers to feel confident about first time solo travel.
Meander with Meg began in 2015 to document my adventures as a solo female backpacker.

The aim of publishing articles on what it feels like to travel by yourself is to inspire other solo travel dreamers to carve out time for adventure in their own lives, whether that’s just for the weekend, six months or a year.
