welcome to pack and paint!
i'm lauren and my aim is to help you
follow your dreams!
Pack & Paint was born through my love for art and travel. As an artist and textile designer, travelling overseas has always inspired me to create. I love to paint while I travel and, obviously, you can’t travel anywhere without packing a bag. Hence the name of this blog!
With a passion for solo female travel, I believe everyone has it in them to travel alone. After travelling to 25+ countries (mostly solo), I want to inspire other women to crush their fears and explore the globe without the need to rely on others.
On this blog, you’ll find travel tips, city guides, inspiration and honest reflections from my adventures across the globe. Furthermore, you’ll also see snippets of my creative work as I discover new destinations with a paintbrush in hand!
