About me

Hey there! I’m Anike, a traveler and digital nomad who has reinvented herself after a long 9-5 life. After navigating the end of a long-term relationship, I realized that it’s never too late to create a life that feels true to who you are. Travel has been my way of healing, finding freedom, and rediscovering myself on my own terms.

For me, travel is more than just visiting new places — it’s a path to self-discovery and a way to break out of old patterns. It has taught me to let go of what doesn’t serve me and embrace what truly matters. This journey has been about learning to live lightly and intentionally.

Why I love being a digital nomad

Being a digital nomad has completely transformed the way I live and work. It’s a lifestyle that lets me explore the world, embrace new experiences daily, and connect with incredible people. Here are just a few reasons why I love being a digital nomad:

I don’t have to wait for my annual holiday to travel.
I can move from one city to the next during my lunch break.
On a day off or weekend, I can hop from one country to another.
I explore local gems during my lunch breaks or after work.
I meet like-minded people wherever I go.
Every day brings a new experience, and I truly love my life.
I don’t mind Mondays anymore.
I can snorkel with turtles before work.
Living abroad can be cheaper than staying in my home country if I don’t move too often.

Over 60 countries and counting

As a solo female traveler, I’ve explored over 60 countries, each new destination giving me a fresh perspective and new adventures. I’m here to share my journey, tips, and the lessons I’ve learned along the way to inspire and empower others to embrace the nomadic lifestyle.

Minimalistically and budget-friendly

I travel light—minimalist, budget-friendly, and vegetarian. While I save on accommodation, I also make room for the occasional treat, like waking up to an ocean view or splurging on a diving liveaboard. For me, experiences matter more than possessions, so I never compromise on activities that bring me joy. It’s about finding balance: living simply while embracing adventure wherever I go.

Get out there and do the same!

Through Solo Nomad Travels, I hope to inspire others to step out of their comfort zones and create a life they love—whether it’s through solo travel, a change in lifestyle, or simply seeing the world with fresh eyes.

Join me as I explore new destinations and share how to make travel meaningful, even on a budget.
