Hi, I’m Pauline, and welcome to my travel blog Pauline Travels. It’s a place for expert advice on traveling, personal travel notes filled with storytelling, and some misadventures. I teach about smart and sustainable traveling. I will not give unrealistic information about saying goodbye to your job and living the nomadic life. That’s not a reality for many of us. Instead, I recommend getting the most out of your trips when traveling after days at the office. Stay and eat at local places, book directly with the local guide and support the community where you are traveling. Splurge on that great boutique hotel if it sparks joy and excitement.
I’m an intelligent female traveler who loves to travel the world, solo or with friends or my partner. Travel is my life; I love discovering new places, and my curiosity is in love with new places I do not yet know. I have traveled solo most of the time around the world, and you know what? It is a beautiful experience; some of my best trips have been solo!
If you want to read honest information about girls who think intelligently and have fun, then Pauline Travels is your blog! I’m a Norwegian Viking girl who started exploring this beautiful world solo at 21, and now I can’t stop! After my first solo travel in 2014 in Australia, New Zealand, and Thailand, I continued. Lately, I have fallen in love with Latin America. And of course Norway and the Lofoten Islands, which I now live and breathe.
I love discovering new places, meeting new people, having crazy experiences, and having new stories to tell. I crave the opportunity to create new adventures.
I aim to show other incredible travelers how they can travel the world independently—intelligent, safe, and adventurous. Create some of your best memories in life!
