Hi, I’m Hayley, the Bookstagrammer behind Backpacking Bookworm. I’m a seasoned reader, book-inspired adventurer, and a copywriter in my spare time (i.e. Monday to Friday, 9 to 5).
I’m travelling around the world (both fictionally and in real life) to uncover books that explore culture and diversity, sharing those less mainstream so together, we can put them on the map.
