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. I’ve a myriad of self proclaimed titles: Scuba enthusiast, hiking junkie, backpacking aficionado, skiing/snowboarding bum, all-around outdoor nut, and mainly the founder of this adventure platform. My love for exploration has taken me to 50 countries, with 8 of them being called home.
While I am a seasoned solo female traveller at heart, over the years I’ve slowly transitioned into a dynamic duo with my husband. Together, we have set out to discover the world together. What had started as a personal project, The Travelling Sloth as blossomed into a platform where I get to share my passion for travel and the great outdoors. Through the art of story telling, I share personal anecdotes and practical tips from my adventures.
The Travelling Sloth focuses on independent 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 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?
This is quite the update! After years of working at a Fortune 500 company, I’ve decided it was time to hit pause on the corporate grind. Together with my husband, we’ve decided that life is too short to spend it sitting in front of a screen. There is so much of this world we’ve yet to see!
So, we are grabbing this golden opportunity. Saying ‘Seeya later’ to our lives and exploring the world with our backpacks. We will be travelling full time to experience life, cultures, see wildlife and rediscover our spark for life.
We’ve got the first leg of our journey mapped out, but we will be winging the second leg. Not to give too much away but let’s just say we will be venturing to some places few have had the privilege to explore, including one continent that is home to some extraordinary wildlife.
We are extremely privileged to have an opportunity like this but it wouldn’t have been possible without the last year of savings we’ve built… Now, we are more than ready to make the most of it! Expect to see our journey unravel here with updates, destination guides and travel inspiration. If you sign up to the newsletter, you’ll probably receive more real-time updates if you want to keep tabs on us 😉
