Hi, fellow adventurer.
I’m Caroline! A Singaporean Norwegian millennial.
Growing up as a third culture kid, trying to find my identity as a Singaporean-Norwegian, you could say I’ve always had a bit of wanderlust in my veins. Currently, I am trying to find my balance between having a full time job while satisfying my passion for travel.
I have a myriad of self proclaimed titles: Scuba enthusiast, hiking junkie, backpacking aficionado, skiing/snowboarding bum, all-around outdoor nut, and the founder of this adventure platform. With a love for exploration, I’ve visited over 50 countries and have called 8 of those home. I’ve visited the bustling streets of Tokyo, admired the Norwegian fjords, and As a seasoned solo female traveler, I’ve slowly transitioned into a dynamic duo with my partner.
Enter The Travelling Sloth. What had started as a personal project has blossomed into a platform where I get to share my passion for travel and the great outdoors. I take pride in sharing personal anecdotes and practical tips from my adventures. The Travelling Sloth focuses on solo travel, backpacking, and adventure travel while maintaining a budget-conscious approach. My main goal is to inspire you about diverse travel destinations and ignite that spark of wanderlust within you, like it has done in me.
You will find everything from Budget Friendly Planning Guides to Guides for Exploring Mountains these chronicles are as varied as they are exciting. I also share a candid recount of how my backpack was stolen in Peru I truly believe in the magic of immersing oneself in unfamiliar terrains and cultures, but also in the joy of rediscovering the beauty of our own backyards.
Whether you’re a solo traveler looking for your next adventure, a hiking enthusiast seeking new trails, or a budget-conscious backpacker planning your next trip, The Travelling Sloth is your go-to platform for all things travel. So, strap on your backpack, lace up your hiking boots, and join us on this grand adventure.
The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.
What’s next?
Before the COVID-19 era, I was embracing the expat life in Colombia and UAE. However, due to COVID-related circumstances, I have resettled back in Norway. As my partner is British, there’s been a lot of UK adventures. A skiing accident resulted in a partially ruptured ACL and a fractured tibia, putting a temporary halt to my global escapades. This unexpected pause allowed me to spend time planning a destination wedding and exploring micro-adventures closer to home.
