About Meet Me In Departures
Find out about the face behind Meet Me In Departures.
‘Helping you to travel the world, one experience at a time’
Hey! I’m Becki, a self-confessed travel addict and experience connoisseur!
I’ve been travelling the world since 2013, after escaping the rat race and ditching my career as a secondary school teacher.
To date, I have visited over 60 countries, always searching out THE BEST experiences that our gorgeous little planet has to offer.
Why did I start Meet Me In Departures?
At first, I just used to document my travels on a hobby blog and a few photos posted on Facebook. But then so many people would say to me, ‘I wish I could do that’.
So, that’s what I set out to do, to show people they can have incredible eco-conscious & ethical adventures all over the world.
So, in October 2019, ‘Meet Me In Departures‘, was born.
In a nutshell:
My goal is to help you live YOUR best life, through memorable experiences in the most ethical way possible.
If I can do it, so can you!
what’s been my most memorable experience so far?
I get asked this SOOOOO many times! It’s so difficult to choose just one, they’ve all been mind-blowing.
Visiting the Galapagos Islands and the Amazon Rainforest is up there with some of the top places to experience wildlife, both are outstanding on every level.
Also learning to scuba dive in the Great Barrier Reef sparked a deep love for all things ocean-based. This is also where my obsession with sharks began.
Hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu was also pretty epic. Although parts of the trail are challenging and you’re exhausted from hiking at altitude for four days, seeing the ruins of Machu Picchu at daybreak, nestled in the rugged surrounding and appearing through the mist is incredible.
Another memorable experience was swimming between the tectonic plates of Europe and the US on the Silfra Dive in Iceland.
What’s still on my bucket list?
Although I have already ticked off so many things on my bucket list, I have a bit of a problem, where it seems to keep growing #firstworldproblems! You can find out what’s on my crazy long bucket list here.
With my love for sharks, the one that has eluded me so far is the hammerhead shark. I would also love to see gorillas in the wild one day too.
I can’t resist a ruin! There are so many that I am keen to explore including Göbekli Tepe in Turkey, Hampi in India and Copan in Honduras.
Finally, two things on my adventure bucket list are to complete the Mount Kilimanjaro hike in Tanzania as well as to skydive in New Zealand.
