Welcome to Claire the Explorer!

Since Age 4, my gradual march to adulthood was split between three continents and five countries. I guess you could say wanderlust settled into my being at an early age.

In 2010, as I was about to move to Spain and Portugal for a year, I decided to start a blog to keep family and friends up to date on my goings-on. I had just graduated from college and was heading to Europe to study the conservation of historic structures. It was the first time I was truly on my own and I was living the life of my dreams.

What started as a casual documentation of my life abroad sparked a passion for sharing my experiences as I explore the world, one tiny bit at a time. My hope is to inspire just one person to go on an adventure.

While my blog is predominantly travel related, I also write about the occasional life experiences and my fluffy cat Cotton Candy.

Thank you so much for stopping by!
