Hello,
I’m Karmen
Writer, wanderer, podcast host, and full-time digital nomad originally from South Africa.
With an Honours degree in English Literature and Philosophy from Stellenbosch University, I’ve built a life around the things I love most: words, movement, and meaning.
I’m the host of Lost & Found, a top-ranking podcast about creativity, growth, solo travel, and figuring out your twenties in real time. I’m also the author of Untethered: A Beginner’s Guide to Solo Travel, a book for anyone craving freedom, connection, and a life that doesn’t fit the template.
Here, I share reflections on solo travel, creative living, and what it means to build a life with intention, even when you’re still figuring it out as you go.
Welcome. I hope these stories inspire you to wander a little further and dream a little bigger.
Stay awhile.
