Welcome to By Aviva. I originally wanted a digital diary to keep track of my adventures but decided sharing my experience may be helpful!

I embarked on my first backpacking journey which was 4 weeks long in Tanzania, Africa when I was 17. I went with a group of strangers and without my phone. This opened my eyes to the world and my love of travel only continued from there.

Since then, I went on my first purely solo backpacking tour as a 20-year-old female. I explored Peru and Bolivia and gained the confidence to continue my travels everywhere.

I am currently studying abroad in Seville, Spain and cannot wait to update you all on my adventures!
