Hi, I’m Lucy! A 30-something Traveller and Pharmacist from the UK.
When I turned 30, I decided to quit my job and travel the world for a year. My trip took me to over 30 countries across 4 continents.
Since coming back home I’m now balancing my life as a pharmacist and a traveler.
My job allows me to travel, whether it be weekend trips to European cities, two-months train-traveling around Japan or road-tripping South Africa for 6 weeks.
I have been to 60 countries and don’t plan to stop there.
Travelling in My 20s
I spent my twenties maximizing my annual leave. Weekend trips to Iceland and Ireland, mini-backpacking trips to the Balkans, visiting the USA for the first time.
I used every single day of annual leave on travel, even if it meant going to work the next day after a late flight.
Travelling in My 30s
In 2023 I turned 30. At this point most of my friends were getting married, having kids and buying houses. I was single and still living at home.
I felt like I had lost my late twenties to COVID and working in healthcare, and so I quit my job and decided to spend the next 12 months traveling the world.
I started my trip road-tripping the Ring Road in Iceland before heading over to Scandinavia and the Baltic States. I explored more of Western and Eastern Europe and traveled to North Africa for the first time.
I rode a camel through the Sahara Desert in Morocco, and I visited the Pyramids in Egypt. I spent my 31st Birthday in Turkey and explored the Persian Gulf on a budget cruise. I went on my first Safari in Sri Lanka, before starting my travels in Southeast Asia.
I saw the Great Wall in China and ate Ramen in Japan. I visited the Southern Hemisphere for the first time in Indonesia and Australia, before finishing my trip campervanning around New Zealand.
After a bonus road trip through the USA, I flew back to the UK.
