Hi I'm Mel
I’m a travel blogger from the UK focusing on finding the lesser known tourist spots around the globe and created Blondie Abroad in 2020. Obviously it’s great to see the most famous attractions wherever you visit, however sometimes it’s the more unusual places which can make your day!
I hope this site inspires you, gets you excited to travel and lends a helping hand in hunting out those hidden gems.
Blondie Abroad's 'Hidden Gems'
The Unusual
Seek out ‘Train Street’ or the downed B52 Bomber plane in the middle of Hanoi. Unless you knew they were there you could walk right past and miss them!
The Hard To Find
Witness nature taking back control at the ‘hidden hotel’ destroyed by the 2004 tsunami in Khao Lak.
The Bizarre
Others ‘attractions’ are just downright odd such as the Kingdom of Somchais’ Affection on the tiny island of Koh Mak.
