Welcome! I’m Shireen!
I’m a traveller, foodie, filming-location-seeker and bookworm from Wales. I want to learn about the world’s cultures and cuisines, books and filming locations and write about it all!
My email is shireen@thehappydaystravels.com
I travel mainly with my fiancé, Scott, and we aren’t sure where life will take us in the future. All we know is we want a life of travelling and immersing in different cultures.
How Did it All Start?
I’ve always loved trips, holidays and going someplace new since I can remember. As an adult, I was bitten by the travel bug on a weekend break to Amsterdam, and later while teaching English in China and what followed were more weekend breaks, festivals and trips before going on a 5 month trip in South East Asia and New Zealand. Our next big venture was to Thailand, Malaysia and a Working Holiday Visa in Australia for 7 months before we had to return to UK in March 2020.
Finally, when travel reopened, we did a 4 month backpacking trip around Europe.
We’re on a Working Holiday Visa in Canada currently.
