I Dream of Mangoes is here to provide you with the information and confidence you need to travel to adventurous places independently. This travel blog is 90% backpacker and 10% luxury. I mostly like to travel and eat like a local, but then occasionally splash out on an amazing experience.
This blog is a product of 12 years of self-funded, on-the-ground research followed by thousands of hours spent creating these travel guides for you.If you have found the information on I Dream of Mangoes useful and would like to buy me a beer to say thanks, I would be forever grateful for the opportunity to keep travelling and writing this blog.
Hi, I'm Aimee! This is my travel blog: I Dream of Mangoes
Amazing Road Trips
There are some places in the world that are best served justice by experiencing them on a road trip! Here are some of my favourites...
The Journey Continues...
Follow my adventure around the world as I share stories all the way from the lagoons of Samoa to the shrines of Iraq. My preferred way to travel is 'local style' - so you can expect these guides to feature tips on taking public transport, finding the best street food, my favourite homestays and unique things to do.
About Me
My name is Aimee and I am from Sussex in the UK. I embarked upon my first backpacking adventure straight from studying Zoology at university, a little more than 10 years ago.
​
With time, my destinations have become more adventurous. Still, my style of travel has remained the same: Budget and eco-friendly, with a curiosity for the unusual and a desire to 'hang with the locals'.
​
In between my travels, I have trained to become a qualified Sommelier and Yoga Teacher.
​
I love animals, yoga, food, wine, hiking, and all things ocean, and even though there are challenges that come with full-time backpacking, every day I pinch myself that I am living my dream.
