Welcome, I’m Abi…

And this is my travel blog!I’ve been travelling the world, living overseas and backpacking through all kinds of countries since 2007.

What started as a passion slowly turned into something much bigger, and now I’m Going On An Adventure is where I share my travel stories, practical tips and honest experiences to help you explore the world with more confidence.

Who Am I?

I’m Abi, a traveller who loves to explore nature and old cities. Most of the time, I live with my head in the clouds, and I’m always planning a new adventure.

Over the years, I’ve visited 47 countries, lived overseas and backpacked extensively. With this in mind, I have helped thousands to plan epic holidays and travel smart!

I live in Indonesia, but I spend months travelling and experiencing new countries around the world. A few of my favourite countries, and those we have extensive expertise in, include Thailand, Italy, Indonesia and Sri Lanka
