Hey, the name's Lucy. I'm the 22-year-old Australian medical student behind Travel Textbook.

I get my kicks from storytelling, jet setting, and drinking too much caffeine. So far my adventures have taken me to 57 countries over 5 continents -- I am well and truly hooked!

My aim is to encourage young people to get out there and see the world around us. I like to push the envelope and show that if you put your mind to it, you can have both travel and a degree.

Join me on my adventures as I navigate my way through university, life and the world.
