Welcome to The Travelling Book Nerd!
I’m Emily, a book lover, dreamer, and adventurer from New Zealand. Though mental health challenges ended my nursing degree before it began, I found a new purpose: merging my book obsession with my travel dreams.
The Travelling Book Nerd is all about sharing my journey and inspiring you to explore the world. I want to encourage you to step outside the familiar, experience different cultures, and break down the walls of ignorance that divide us.
When I can’t visit a place or time period in person, I dive into books. They’re my window to the world—offering new perspectives, stories, and experiences. So, join me as I explore the world, one book and one adventure at a time.
