Hi,
Welcome to Up Your Trip! My name is Virginia and I’m a French travel addict. I guess I caught the travel bug when I was a kid. My family and I used to travel with a campervan through France and Europe during the holidays. We would discover new places – landscapes, monuments, foods… – and I would hear people speaking languages I obviously didn’t understand. For me, that was adventure!
I’ve grown up but I still feel this call deep inside of me to discover new cultures. Now that I’m working full-time (as an engineer), I keep travelling during my holidays. Some take a year off to do a world tour, I chose to do mine one vacation at a time… And you can too!
Here’s the result so far on the map. You see, you don’t need to take a sabbatical to travel the world 😉
I’ve created this site to encourage people to travel the world by themselves.
Alright… Don’t freak out! Travelling by oneself does NOT mean that you have to travel all alone, on a budget, eating suspicious foods and spending weeks or even months planning everything… Though it can be any or all of that if you feel like it. That’s the magic of travelling! You’re free to travel just the way you want. You can even experiment with different options during your trip and mix luxury hotels and guesthouses, museums and treks, fancy restaurants and street foods… It’s all up to you and way easier than you think!
So, welcome on board. Fasten your seatbell, and off we go!
