The Blonde Abroad is an award-winning solo and female travel and lifestyle blog created by Kiersten—known as “Kiki”—a former corporate finance professional who left her career to embrace global adventure. She has since traveled to over 70 countries and shares her journey through travel guides, packing tips, photography advice, and lifestyle content tailored for diverse travel experiences—from solo and female-centered trips to budget, luxury, student, volunteer, eco, and adventure travel. Her site also includes practical resources like travel gear recommendations, rewards card strategies, blogging tools, and even all-female bespoke tours under the TBA Escapes brand.
