About The Blonde Abroad

The Blonde Abroad is a personal travel website run by Kiki, a California native who left a career in finance to travel in 2011. She has visited more than 70 countries and writes first-person guides, packing advice, and points and miles how-tos aimed at women who want to explore on their own. The site has grown into a large archive with more than 1,500 posts since 2012 and sections for destinations, packing guides, and all-female tours. Posts lean heavily on Kiki's own photography, illustrated by image-rich longform guides and practical reviews.

Bright, candid and unmistakably personal, The Blonde Abroad reads like travel advice from a stylish friend who packs efficiently and actually answers emails. Kiki mixes long, hands-on service reviews - like the detailed Holafly Plans review based on a year abroad with her son - with destination guides, packing lists, and a beginner's guide to points and miles. The voice is conversational and practical, the posts are long and photo-heavy, and the site still publishes into 2026. We think readers looking for solo female inspiration, step-by-step planning, and thorough gear or service testing will find the site especially useful.
