Hey, I'm Lucy!
And welcome to Travel Textbook! I'm an Aussie medical student who believes that there is more to life than a career. People would definitely describe me as a travel addict as I am constantly on the search for new adventures and people around the world.
Through this thirst for adventure I have visited obscure corners of the globe, broadened my world view, and come home with some wacky stories to tell at parties. So hang around and find out some more about the journeys, and I really hope you find some great advice to inspire your travels!
LET'S SEE THE WORLD
