About
HI! I’M ERIN
Growing up I knew that was all I wanted to do was travel.
Over the past 10 years I have been working and travelling my way around the world. I love slow travel and prefer being based in one place for an extended period of time.
For 7 years I worked in ski resorts, popping between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. I did pretty much every resort job there is but I mostly worked as a ski instructor and LOVED it!
During this time I got a degree. I worked full-time for a year as a paramedic and decided that I would go travelling for a couple of years. Fast-forward on to 5 years later and I am still on the road. I didn’t have a whole lot of savings under my belt so I worked as I travelled. I spent two amazing years working and travelling on superyachts.
Next, I thought some home soil would do me good, so I then went and worked in a resort on Lizard Island on the Great Barrier Reef. Literally paradise!
It was on this island that I fell in love and my partner and I left for a year travelling through Europe. We did lots of volunteer programs like Worldpackers and Workaway to make this affordable. Now, we are living in Myanmar where I teach English online and Ben works for a conservation group.
ABOUT CURIOUSLY ERIN
Curiously Erin is a budget travel blog, inspiring travellers to live a life that fulfills their wildest dreams. More and more people are realising that they don’t want to live a 9-5 lifestyle. But how do you escape when you have imited funds??
That’s where I come in. I, like you used to believe travel to be expensive and only possible after lots of hard saving. However, over the past 10 years I have learnt that to be so far from the truth. Travel does not have to cost you years of savings. Instead, I want to show you what you can do all around the world for free or cheap.
