Who She Is

Hi! I’m Clara, your Travel Engineer! I started Where She Went because many of the most meaningful experiences in my life have occurred during travel, and I wanted to help others find their own opportunities for adventure and growth.

I grew up in New Hampshire, USA and, after a childhood spent hosting German exchange students, decided to spend a year in Germany myself in between high school and college. During my gap year, I caught the travel bug, and I’ve been on the move (or planning my next trip) ever since!

As I’ve grown as a traveler, writer, and person, this space has shifted its perspective with me. Today, Where She Went is a place to share stories, advice, and dreams for all sorts of travel. Meaningful engagement with diverse cultures, communities, and landscapes should be more accessible, and today I am striving to do that through storytelling and passing on bits of advice that may help you pack your bag, start your engine, and get out into the world…

Trust me, once you start, it will be impossible to stop!
