Fleur Kok
Fleur (aka Flora) is a travel blogger from the Netherlands. After having graduated in International Business Communication in 2021, she hopped on a plane to Guatemala on her own, which was the start of 6+ months of slow travelling around Central America. She describes herself as a slightly extraverted introvert and believes solo travel can and should be enjoyed from both perspectives. Fleur has recently moved to Valencia, where she works remotely as a creative copywriter for sustainable businesses.
Joëlle Fornoville
Joëlle (www.worldwanderista.com) is a travel blogger/vlogger from Antwerp, Belgium and is living proof that you can still run a blog and travel around the world, besides having a full time office job. Always weaponed with her camera and tripod and a big smile on her face, she loves to travel around the world solo. Joëlle is a firm believer of positivity attracts more positivity and has two very different sides; one day you will find her twirling around in a dress exploring fairytale towns and castles and the next you will see her climbing steep mountains to reach that epic viewpoint or jump out of a plane.
