I’m Nika — writer, wrangler, work in progress. Proud mama of Julieta, in her first year at uni so a free bird for now. Ready for more solo adventures – time to live out of my backpack for a bit.

I’ve been writing online since 1999, self-employed since 2005, and publishing on Substack for six years.

My mission: Helping women travel solo—the most transformative thing you can do. Travel inspires empathy—tiny steps towards world peace.

Bold Types – Adventures in journalism from an 80s latchkey kid turned solo travel fangirl. Your weekly hit of optimism and grit.

A network for wander women writing their second act. Join now.
