Hi, I’m Jodie — a traveller, walker, and nature lover living in Singapore… but not the version you might be picturing.
I’m tucked away in a quiet corner of the island where monkeys, monitor lizards, snakes, and hornbills regularly visit our jungle garden — and where empty beaches are just minutes away, seemingly unknown to the rest of Singapore.

As an international teacher, I spend my time travelling Southeast Asia (and beyond) with my husband and our two boys (aged 9 and 11) on a reasonable budget.

Mapped Wanders blog is where I share practical, honest, and experience based guides — the kind of info I always look for when planning a trip with my tween-aged kids. If you love to travel and particularly visit places that get you moving you’re in the right place.
