Inspiring Budget-Friendly Adventures for Solo Female Travelers
Explore the world with confidence, curiosity, and a carry-on.
Hey, I’m Addie
I’m an adventure-loving, budget-conscious solo traveler who believes the world is best explored one passport stamp (and cup of coffee) at a time. I took my first big solo trip at 18, and I haven’t looked back since.

On Addie Abroad, you’ll find honest travel guides, budget tips that actually work, and stories from the road to inspire your next trip. Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or a gap year adventure, I’m here to help you travel smarter, deeper, and more joyfully. Let’s make those travel dreams happen — no matter your budget.
