Hey! I’m Steph. Welcome to my blog!

I started this blog in January 2017 without much idea of what I wanted it to be. I ended up on a year-long trip through Europe, Indonesia, India, South Africa, and Namibia.

Even though there were digital nomads and travel bloggers at the time, working remotely was not as common as it is now. I managed to pay for my travel costs through freelance copywriting, volunteering at hostels, and sleeping on the couches of some very generous friends and acquaintances.

It wasn’t glamorous by any means—I am predominantly a backpacker and an active tourist, so I don’t mind getting stuck in the rain or hiking with the hot sun beating down on me or camping in a really smelly old tent and not showering for a few days (actually, I kind of mind that, specifically after 48 hours). But traveling long-term and nonstop taught me a lot of things about myself and about the kind of lifestyle that I want to live.

That’s why in 2018, about a year after my trip, I moved to Berlin and have been here ever since. I felt it was finally time for me to plant my roots somewhere, and Berlin is now my home for the foreseeable future.

It hasn’t all been easy in the last few years. I became burnt out and have really learned what it means to honor rest and relaxation, which is why the focus of my blog is shifting from general travel and backpacking tips to traveling for wellness. I’ve always looked for ways to maintain and improve my health, and my love for travel is still strong. Now, I’m combing the two: Travel Well FKA Lost Girl On Earth, is now a blog focusing on wellness and travel experiences, both in Berlin and abroad.

Thanks for being with me from the beginning! Hope you’ll stick around, sit back, and relax.

Steph
