Adventure on the Blog
Living on a tropical island, running hostels, meeting people from all over the world and partying all the time. Sounds like paradise, right? While it was a fantastic experience and I wouldn’t take it back, it definitely wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows.

First things first, I swear I’m not a crazy person who went out of their way to go to an island once a month just to go to a party. I used to live in Thailand for two years, and one of those years I spent on Koh Phangan, the infamous party island of Thailand and the home of the Full Moon Party.

My main goal in life has always been to figure out how to travel while getting paid to do so. During university I found out about Teaching English Abroad, and before I had even finished my degree I already knew I wanted to give this a try.

Staying in hostels is a great way to meet new friends and find lots of other people who might be solo travelling. When I was 18 I loved the hostel life, it brought me so many new friends, there was always some kind of event or activity happening and even though I was travelling alone I was never lonely.

For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Aly! I’m a full-time solo traveller from Canada and I’ve started this blog (with this being my first post, YAY) in order to share all my knowledge and expertise. Travel is my happy place, and I want to be able to help others find the same! Travel is for everyone, and lots of people just need a little help getting started. That’s what I’m here for.

My Story
At first I thought I would be a doctor, then a lawyer, next I tried my hand at teaching and then running hotels...Safe to say I'm winging it just like everyone else!
I've always had a love for travel, but I also knew that full-time travel is often considered unrealistic. I went to university, worked "typical" jobs and realized I had never been happier than when I was travelling. Living outside of my comfort zone and being spontaneous is where I thrive. I decided to pack up my life and move across the world alone. Two weeks later I left, and I have never looked back since. Now, nearly three years later, my goal is to share my love of travel with others. I want to show people that full-time travel is accessible for anyone. Don't get me wrong, it is definitely not always sunshine and rainbows, but neither is anything in life. So welcome to my adventure, where I'm getting REAL with you guys. How I got started, what it takes to travel full-time, how to sustain yourself, the lessons I've learned, the mistakes I've made and everything else along the way.
