Welcome, I’m Abi
And this is my travel blog! I’ve been travelling the world, living overseas and visiting beautiful destinations 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.
I focus on creating destination guides, detailed itineraries and offbeat travel inspiration for curious travellers who want to see a little more than the usual highlights.

Who Am I?
My mum says I have a restless soul, and she’s probably right. I’ve always been someone who loves exploring, learning and experiencing somewhere new.
I’m happiest surrounded by nature or close to the sea, although I love wandering through an old city just as much. Most of the time, my head is in the clouds, and I’m already planning the next adventure before the current one has finished.
I’m currently based in Indonesia, but I still spend plenty of time travelling. I love getting beneath the surface of a destination by eating local food, learning a few words of the language, joining traditional ceremonies and understanding more about everyday life.
Some of my favourite countries, and the destinations I know best, include Thailand, Italy, Indonesia and Sri Lanka

I just love creating useful resources to help you on your journey. So, I thought a calculator to help you budget would be a great idea.
