Welcome to This Brits LIfe

I'm Gemma - a British solo traveler and content creator

Currently based on the West Coast of Canada. I love live music (Country is my jam!), finding hidden gems, random adventures, movies, and a nice cup of tea.

Alongside my 9-5 and side hustles I try to solo travel as much as possible. It hasn't always been that way though, years ago the thought of going anywhere far away let alone overseas of my own was terrifying. That all changed when I found myself alone in Canada. Since then Iโ€™ve moved abroad on my own, taken many solo trips, and gone to a lot of events alone. Now I want to help you to the same with confidence as a "cruise director" of your travels

Here you will find personal stories, practical travel tips, extensive travel guides, authentic reviews and useful resources to help you travel like a local. Whether you want to just visit particular places, attend more events or just enjoy solo activities, my goal is to help you enjoy new experiences while building your self-confidence.
