Introduction: What is The Torn Traveller?
Welcome to The Torn Traveller blog, where I don’t just share picture-perfect globetrotting stories but also delve into the complicated global justice topics that impact people I meet along the way.
Consider this a dumping ground for all the conflicting thoughts of a frequent traveller who finds herself torn between the tourist experience of a country and the locals’ daily lives, between natural beauty and manmade horrors, between the cultural ‘done thing’ and the humanitarian ‘right’ thing to do. Covering a range of social and political issues like poverty, health, sustainability and education, I hope to highlight the countries finding innovative solutions to modern problems as well as gain insight into what’s going wrong in some systems, why this is the case and what we can do to help. Balancing the good, the bad and providing research-based analysis, my aim is to help you, and myself, become a little less torn about overwhelming global issues.

Thank you for reading, I can’t wait to get stuck in!
