Life’s Too Short Not to Travel in Style
Founded in 2019 by British freelance writer Katie Davies, the idea for Trendy Tourist came about while she was living in New Zealand on the working holiday visa.
After being in this beautiful country for just a couple of months, it dawned on her that she somehow had to make a suitcase’s worth of clothes last a year! Eek!
And it wasn’t the first time she’d had this problem.
After all, Katie had visited over 20 countries on various travel and backpacking trips in her twenties. Truth be told, she’d always struggled to look good, travel far and live well as a tourist on a budget.
In fact, she used to spend hours trawling the depths of Google trying to uncover how to be savvy with clothes, trips and money all at the same time.
She knew that there had to be a better way to find the information she was looking for.
That’s how Trendy Tourist was born.

![FEELING LOVELY IN LILAC. 🤗 [AD - GIFTED] I, like so many others, am over the moon that lockdown restrictions are starting to lift in England and we can shop, eat and drink outdoors again. 🎉 However, fashion-wise, I’m finding it tough to get out of my joggers. Anyone else? 🤣 While I’m still working my way up to jeans, I’ll stick to these lilac lovelies by @femmeluxefinery. Not only are they super comfortable but, if you don’t already know, lilac is going to be a huge colour trend for Spring/Summer 2021. In fact, any kind of pastel colour palette should be prioritised to stand out in style this season. 🌈 #femmeluxe #luxegal #femmeluxefinery](https://www.trendytourist.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
