Hi, I’m Liisa
I’m a Toronto travel writer exploring our weird and wonderful world
I started Liisa Wanders to share the lessons I’ve learned while seeing the world. Because I believe that travel can change lives and I want to provide honest help for other women planning their dream trips. Here you’ll find solo travel tips, guides to unique and unusual destinations (my obsession) and reviews of the world’s best Nordic spas (my other obsession). No matter your age or budget, I truly believe there’s an adventure waiting for you. Let’s go.
