Hey, hola, salut.

I’m Becca, the owner and writer of AlwaysCarryOn.com, a blog about my travels and experiences, both abroad and at home here in the UK. Rather than write reams of copy about myself though, I thought I’d answer a few questions instead…

Where are you based?

Originally from Woodley, a little suburban town on the outskirts of Reading, I now live in Reading town centre. I work in New Malden in Surrey, for a travel company.

Where have I travelled to?

There’s a post that covers this – check it out: 30 countries before 30: where I’ve been so far. In June 2017 I managed to complete my self-set challenge of visiting 30 countries before I turned 30 years old – in fact I even managed it with a few days to spare.

Why do I travel?

The short answer is: I want to see what the world has to offer outside of the UK. Sure, the UK is great, and I love exploring my home country too, but I’m curious about everything and I am hungry to learn.

When travelling to a new country I like making friends, I like having long discussions with strangers about things like their education systems, their beliefs and their traditions. I want to learn about how they live. And I strongly believe that travelling is the only way to garner these types of experiences. You can read about them in books or online, of course, but hearing it first-hand from the people who are living it is the best way to learn, in my opinion.

What have I learnt by travelling?

There’s a post on that too: What travelling to 30 countries has taught me.

Do I blog full time?

Nope – I have a full-time job at a marketing agency in London. So my travels have to be planned around work commitments and an annual leave allowance. Here’s a post about how I do it: How to travel the world while working a 9-5.
