About Me
Oh Hi! I almost didn’t see you there! My name is Bella, a recent university graduate going broke traveling the world. I am currently on a fellowship living and working in public health in Cape Town, South Africa but spend every cent I have traveling, eating, and exploring the world! It has always been a dream of mine to document my adventures in a sustainable way so I am so glad you’re here!
Although I only really began really traveling my first year of college, I grew up with the desire to not only experience new cultures but to make a real difference in the world. The love I have developed for finding and exploring new places has really pushed me to take on a career that allows me to both travel but also make a difference in peoples’ lives- the best of both worlds.
On Tarmacs and Tan Lines, you can expect a variety of things. From nightlife guides and vegan food spots, to budget travel for luxury destinations, I share tips, itineraries, and personal stories to help you make the most of your travels. I am so excited to share my favorite destinations with you and I hope that my blog can help make your dream adventures become a (more affordable) reality.
