Hey, I'm Naomi! Author of Runaway Traveller.
I’m Canadian but currently based in New Zealand and have been travelling internationally as often as I can over the past 12-ish years.
I’ve stayed at dingy hostels and luxury hotels, flown budget airlines and business class, and eaten at street stalls and and Michelin-star restaurants. I blog because I love sharing my tips, adventures, and misadventures as I explore this beautiful world we live in.
