I'm Yari, a travel, beauty and wellness creator, exploring our precious planet and discovering the best wellness traditions and global beauty products along the way.

I'm a self-confessed travel junkie (60 countries and counting), bit hard by the travel bug at a young age, thanks to my adventurous parents and my mixed Latin and American upbringing. I’m a Nola and Florida girl by birth but a Londoner, and global wanderer, by heart. 

And then, there's beauty. There is no greater simple pleasure than perfecting my morning skincare routine or applying my signature lipstick before bouncing out the flat.

But what I love most is the diversity of beauty, from the wellness rituals to the local beauty customs and indie beauty brands, that can be found across the globe.

This blog is all about celebrating these; the quirkiest spas (mud bath, anyone?), the beauty treatments you’ve never heard of and the beauty traditions that make a woman feel beautiful in her corner of the world. 

Here, I share each and every travel and adventure, with my top travel tips and destination guides, alongside the most exciting global beauty and wellness discoveries I’ve made around the world.

Think of me as your travel bestie, here to help you glow up your next trip and your beauty and wellness routine back home.

I hope my little corner of the web inspires you to take a trip (way) beyond your comfort zone or lands you in a destination you barely knew existed. And that your souvenirs add a little extra something to your beauty routine back home. But most importantly, I hope you touchdown with a greater sense of the world’s diverse beauty and a newfound appreciation for what makes you uniquely beautiful.

Happy adventuring and please do say hello!
