Welcome to World of Wanderlust! My name is Brooke, a twenty-something explorer originally from Australia. I created World of Wanderlust as a space to inspire young people to travel more and to travel solo. I truly believe solo travel can change your life and make you become a more confident, whole version of yourself. Read more about Brooke Bellamy and her life now.
It was in December of 2012 when I created my travel blog. I had been to a handful of countries in Asia and wanted to create a space online to document my adventures.
On the day I graduated university I booked a one way ticket to London. I wanted to see as much of the world as I could in 12 months. I travelled throughout Europe, across Asia, overland in South America, Africa and the Middle East.
Over the course of my career I have visited 80-something countries solo across six continents.
My blog has become a corner of the internet for solo travellers to find inspiration and advice to plan their next trip. It has also enabled me to see foreign parts of the world I never would have been able to visit without my audience. So, thank you for being here!
One of the most popular questions I receive is “how do you get paid to travel?” If you are interested in becoming a travel blogger and earning money while you travel the world, I created the Travel Blogger Master Course. This is a guided program to help you create your own travel blog and get paid to travel.
Nowadays I spend my time at Brooki Bakehouse, my bakery I opened in 2022. Travel taught me a lot about pursuing whatever it is you are passionate about and through time, over many trips to Paris, that became patisserie and learning to bake. This blog taught me everything I know about business, and, with the two of them combined, I went on to chase my next dream of owning a bakery. One location soon turned to 10 and we’re now getting ready to take the brand global. You can join an online baking class with me at bakewithbrooki.com or purchase my bestselling cookbook Bake with Brooki (Penguin) to create my recipes at home in your kitchen.
