Here to help you travel with intention and shape a life that’s #wildlycurious.
Launched in 2012 as a humble personal journal, Roamscapes is a travel blog sharing first-hand stories and inspiration with a focus on culture, slow travel, and sustainability.
The founder (and chronic roamer): Brooke Thio
Hi! I was born in Singapore, which is a huge blessing for a child who grew up reading too far from home. English classics, Mexican myths and legends, The Adventures of Tintin — it was through books that I discovered the world beyond and longed to explore it all for real.
My mum, fond of travel herself, took my brother and I on as many holidays as she could afford. This only heightened my wanderlust, and soon after becoming a working adult I became desperate to escape the 9-to-5. Since then, I’ve worked as a travel writer, copywriter, and marketing strategist. My work has been published in Lonely Planet Magazine (Asia), food&travel, Meetings & Conventions Asia, Travel Weekly, and more.
Thanks for being here; I hope you’ll join us in being #wildlycurious!
We believe that travel is about understanding
and not just consuming. Food, experiences, and pretty landscapes become so much more amazing when you learn their meaning from the people who are creating and sharing them with you.
Solo travel and offbeat adventures
Different cultures have different narratives and worldviews; you might realize that what you’ve always been told isn’t what you truly want. Who knows, you might even think of moving abroad.
