Arles, France
Hello from the south of France where I currently reside. I am a 50+ Canadian expat, artist (painter), and frequent solo traveller. I lived in Albania for over two years (Pogradec and Vlorë) and travelled extensively in Europe during that time.
My travel is typically low budget, utilising public transit where possible and finding money-saving travel hacks.
I write on various travel topics and offer video consultations where I may answer many of you concerns about solo travel, downsizing for an international move, culture shock, banking, cell phone service, costs, safety, making social connections, etc..
I have in depth knowledge of Albania in particular and am happy to discuss both the joyful and difficult aspects of moving to a new country.
So, if you are just curious about life abroad or are weeks away from the big day, feel free to peruse my social media accounts or set up a one-on-one video call.
Happy travels!

Becca & Debs | Pride Escapes
Colchester, UK
Hi there! We are Debs and Becs, wife and wife team who are on a mission to explore as many corners of this earth as we can. We own a few businesses and run them remotely whilst on our adventures around the globe.
One of our businesses, Pride Escapes, is relatively new and is focused around creating content that can help others plan their upcoming trips based on our personal experiences and knowledge about these areas.
It sounds odd, but I (Becs) honestly enjoy the planning process of a trip as much as the actual trip itself. I LOVE spending hours researching a destination before we head off on an adventure and I always try to connect with local business owners of my destination to ensure I get the most out of a holiday.
I figured that if I was already putting in the effort to plan my own holidays, perhaps it would be helpful to find a platform where I could pass this information on to others who maybe do not enjoy the planning part as much as I do.
Our guides are also perfect for

Chicago, IL, USA
Hi there, I’m Rachael, originally from Chicago, and I’ve been bitten by the travel bug for over a decade now. There’s just something about the whole process – from planning the trip to living it up in new places and then cherishing those memories afterward – that gets me all excited.
Even though I’ve got the whole family and work thing going on, my craving for adventure never fades. And I'm not bound by any one way of traveling - whether it's with my family, my partner, my girlfriends, or even venturing out solo, I embrace every opportunity to see the world.
I’ve come to realize that the world is like this giant storybook, and I’m all about sharing those stories. My goal is to inspire others to embrace their wanderlust, break out of their comfort zones, and start crafting their own unforgettable tales. Let’s explore the world together, one amazing destination at a time!

Hey! I'm Anneleen, a seasoned traveller who loves adventurous destinations. For you, and a bit for myself and my partner, I go in search of the most beautiful places on earth. For many years, we have been collecting the best travel tips for destinations we have visited ourselves. We compile these in handy guides on Thatch. Organising your own round trip is really cool, but sometimes you can't see it anymore in all the information that's on the web. Or sometimes you just lack the time and want above all to enjoy that holiday, without having to spend hours and hours working on it first. It is my goal to make planning your trip a little easier and, above all, more fun.
By travel, I don't mean a beach holiday but travelling to enrich yourself, be inspired by other cultures and experience the richness of nature. That is travelling for me! And that's what I really want to share with you.

Anya - The Unknown Adventurer
Brisbane QLD, Australia
Hi Thatchers, I’m a 25 yr old who started travelling as a teenager. From working my first job as a cashier as a teenager and saving everything to pay for a trip to India at 15, I have now travelled 16 countries, predominantly solo but also on group tours and with friends. When asked where my favourite place in the world I have to say the airplane and airports. I love the sense of unknown and the challenges that go with a different place.
In my down time I enjoy being a nanny and studying my Masters in Teaching. I have loved exploring most of Eastern Australia from Rocky down to Tassie and out to the Desert at Birdsville. I enjoy spending as little as possible on my travels but experiencing the most out of my adventures.

Courtney
New York, NY, USA
Welcome! 👋🏼
My name is Courtney. I'm an American/Canadian citizen and have lived in Montreal, The Philippines, and now New York City!
When I'm not traveling, I love exploring new spots in my city, reading books, hiking and hanging out with my new puppy!
I'm a firm believer that you can travel on any budget, at any age, and you don't have to quit your job or give up everything else in your life to see the world!
Why should you work with me?
Because I'm a regular twenty-something working a regular job and have been self-funding my traveling for over a decade! I've been in your shoes - wanting to find the best hike, the best cup of coffee, get a drink at the bar the locals go to, see the monuments, eat at Michelin restaurants- and make the most of my time and money. I know what it's like to want to do it ALL and I'm here to tell you that you don't have to choose. I've been sharing my tips and recommendations for a long time, and want to help make travel accessible for everyone.

Bogotá, Bogota, Colombia
Hola amigos! Nice to meet you. I’m a proud Canadian, but I’ve been living abroad—primarily in Colombia and Uganda—for the last 20 years. I’ve worked as a journalist and a content creator, and I’ve channeled that experience into creating informative, exciting and entertaining multimedia guides and itineraries.
I tend to focus on places that are less touristic and more authentic. I like to learn about my destinations by wandering around and talking to people. I plan, but I welcome spontaneity. Accordingly, my guides convey the essential information but leave plenty of room for your own exploration and discovery.
If I had to sum up my travel interests, I’d quote the late, great travel writer, Paul Bowles: “If I am faced with the decision of choosing between visiting a circus and a cathedral, a café and a public monument, or a fiesta and a museum, I am afraid I shall normally take the circus, the café, and the fiesta.”
If you have any inquiries, feel free to contact me on Instagram or

Hi I'm Anna! A Canadian content creator, digital nomad + solo traveller who has visited over 29 countries! I’m a calculated risk taker who loves immersing herself in a local culture. I love the challenge of everyday life in a new environment + the spontaneity, small or big a new location can bring. Finding breakfast every morning can be an adventure in itself! I’m a YouTuber, Travel Content Creator + have been a freelancer since 2017.
I love sharing strategic budget travels, while indulging with your savings in some of the finer things in a new town (let’s be honest it’s usually food). I believe you don’t have to be cliff jumping or partying every night to really feel a spark or pinch-me moment immersed in a new environment.
I can’t wait to share the travel journey with you! Thank you for being here!

I am a travel blogger, yoga teacher, and writer. I am originally Turkish (born in Istanbul) and Canadian. I have been living nomadically for over 7 years, working and adventuring in different corners of the world. I love slow and off the beaten path travel and look for unique local experiences wherever I go. I encourage everyone (and especially younger women) to do the same through my writing.
I have been to 50+ countries, I love nature as much as I love the city.
Here on this platform I will share:
- Guides and maps: Recommendations for restaurants, bars, art galleries/museums in cities I enjoyed visiting.
- How-to guides for remote locations: off the beaten path treks, sail boat hitchhiking, adventure travel.
- Custom travel services: If you have a location in mind and want to speak to a human being who has already been there and get real life advice instead of google-ing it, I am more than happy to share my knowledge and experience.
l hope you find inspiration in my posts and

Ciao!
Benvenuti! Welcome!
My name is Melissa, I am 33 years old, I was born and raised in Toronto, but my parents are Italian which makes me an Italo-Canadian dual passport holder.
I grew up spending every summer in Italy travelling from tip to toe, until at 27 years old I decided to move to Milan. I have always been fascinated by the culture, food, people and breath taking landscapes. I have been to every city in Italy, some multiple times. Italy has so many different things to offer according to your travel personality - mountains for hiking and skiing, beaches for those hot Italian summers, cities for shopping and history and everything in between.
Anything and everything Italy brings me joy! I am so excited to help you plan for a trip of a lifetime.
A presto,
-Melissa
