About Me

Hey! My name is Vida and I'm 23 years old. I was born in Tehran (capital of Iran) and raised in Germany and England. 

I grew up in a small city called Chester, which is northwest of England. I have loved growing up in so many diverse places throughout my childhood and I feel perhaps my love for travel has been influenced by my upbringing.

​

I never knew what I wanted to do with my life but I certainly knew that I wanted to live in the present and enjoy everything life has to offer. I was in my first year at University studying psychology in 2014 and I knew I didn't want to spend my summer working in retail! I decided to look into Camp America and I literally decided the day before recruitment day that I was going to give it a shot. It all happened so quickly and before I knew it I was on a flight to Boston and later at camp in Cape Cod, Massachusetts about to spend the next 4 months working as a camp counselor. After arriving home of course it was natural to feel a little down. I knew that this could not be the end and this was the exact moment I knew that I wanted to keep travelling and exploring the world. Since then I have recently visited my 25th country which was Italy!

 

I have created this website as a platform to share my experiences and top tips of places I have visited. I felt that when I was planning my trips I always looked for top tips from other travellers and therefore I wanted to create one myself! I hope that every reader can get you can get something out of this platform.

About Me

My aspiration in life is to live in the present and to enjoy every single moment. I have a full-time job to remain reasonable but I will always be a long-term traveller.
