To introduce myself…

Hey, I’m Sam – the travel blogger behind Showcasing The Globe.

I’m a 20-something, travel-obsessed individual looking to explore this beautiful world one destination at a time.

The travel bug hit me over 8 years ago and ever since then, I’ve been ploughing through the 9-5 to conjure up whatever time I can to venture into different cultures and experience new ways of life.

I created this blog to help people make the most out of their destinations, seeking new experiences along the journey. My goal is to guide you through life’s most beautiful places through city guides, hidden gems, scenic hikes, cultural insights and much more!

Get to know me!
