Hi, I’m Charlie – Founder of Travel Girls Corner
I’m Charlie, a 22-year-old travel blogger with a passion for uncovering the magic in every corner of the world. My travel journey began with family adventures, walking thousands of miles through cities and countryside, and grew into something bigger with my five-week Interrail trip across Europe in September 2024. That trip didn’t just give me the travel bug, it taught me how to navigate Europe, discover what I’m capable of, and boosted my confidence both in myself and as a traveller.
Before I go any further, I want to be upfront: all of my experiences come from my perspective as a white woman. I recognise that my background and privilege shape how I travel and interact with the world, and I strive to approach every adventure with respect, curiosity, and humility.
Interrailing was also what inspired Travel Girls Corner. The internet is full of travel information, destination guides, cultural tips, and even the Kardashians’ holiday snaps, but I wanted a place that felt real. A space where travellers could get honest, first-hand advice from someone who’s actually been there. This blog is all about sharing authentic travel stories, practical tips, and detailed guides to help you plan trips you’ll genuinely enjoy. Whether you’re looking for luxury experiences, budget-friendly adventures, or planning your next big European getaway, my aim is to inspire and guide you every step of the way.
I travel because it’s more than just ticking off destinations. It’s about discovering hidden gems, immersing yourself in new cultures, and connecting with yourself or your travel buddies. In my opinion, travel broadens your perspective, teaches lessons you can’t learn from a screen, and helps you grow into a more well-rounded person, aspects invaluable to you as an individual.
Too often, we get stuck in our little bubbles and forget how much there is to explore in the world. That curiosity, that sense of adventure, is what drives me to keep moving, seeing new places, and sharing those experiences with others. Life’s too short to visit the same spots over and over. The world is our oyster, full of lessons about ourselves and others, and I can’t wait to explore it with you, one street, one city, and one adventure at a time.
Everything on Travel Girls Corner comes from my own travel experiences. I write about places I’ve actually visited, from Interrail adventures across Europe to city walks with my family, and I share both the highlights and the challenges. This ensures you get advice that is honest, practical, and actionable.
My goal is simple: to help travellers plan trips that are enjoyable, realistic, and unforgettable, while giving you the confidence to explore Europe and beyond with ease.
