Get to know me


Hi! I'm Offely, a vibrant 30-year-old from London.
I was born and raised in France and moved to London barely aged 21. I am passionately pursuing my dream of writing by studying Freelance and Travel writing at the London School of Journalism after working eight years in Finance as a Credit Controller.
With a love for exploration that began in my youth, I have journeyed across the globe, immersing myself in diverse cultures and experiences. My first solo backpacking trip was around the Balkans (Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, North Macedonia and Bulgaria) in 2017. I was 23 then and crossed six land borders, discovered six different languages, currencies and cultures. My second solo backpacking experience was in 2019. I set off for 16 months through Europe, South Asia and South-East Asia, visiting meeting incredible people through volunteering and couchsurfing. These adventures have ignited my desire to share captivating stories with others, blending knowledge and enjoyment in my writing.
I believe that every place has a tale waiting to be told, and aim to transport my readers to distant lands through vivid storytelling.
As I hone my skills, I am committed to perfecting my craft and connect with people from all walks of life, inspiring them to embark on their own adventures.
I have always been captivated by the enchanting worlds found in books, where the imagination knows no bounds and heroes embark on epic quests. I have always loved diving into enchanting worlds found in fantasy and travel books, where the imagination knows no bounds and heroes embark on epic quests.
My passion for history fuels my curiosity about the past, drawing connections between significant events. I also have a deep appreciation for food, relishing the diverse flavours and culinary traditions from around the globe. I believe that sharing knowledge is essential, whether it’s about fascinating historical facts, the artistry of cooking, or the captivating narratives of my favourite fantasy novels.
Through storytelling and discussions, I hope to inspire others to explore these interests, fostering a community where we can exchange ideas and expand our horizons together.
My traveling experiences have also brought me directly into politics and immigrations policies as I have met my husband during one of my trips to Asia. I would like to bring light to the struggles and hardship of the discrimination brought on by some visas and immigrations policies experienced by people abroad but also closer to home.
With my passion for stories, travel and books, I am ready to make my mark in the world of writing.
