Welcome to Moon River Voyages, a travel, history, and lifestyle blog!
Hi there! I’m Caroline, the voice behind Moon River Voyages. As a solo traveler, I’m passionate about exploring the world, uncovering hidden gems, and experiencing luxury travel on a budget. Growing up in Los Angeles, a diverse city with a rich history, fueled my love for travel early on. My Canadian mum often took me to visit my Granny in Vancouver. These vacations, combined with family road trips and a memorable adventure to Alaska when I was nine years old, ignited my wanderlust.
As I grew older, I ventured to new and exciting destinations. Despite having explored many places, there’s still much I want to see and experience. Alongside my travels, I harbor a deep passion for performance. Studying musical theatre at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland provided an incredible opportunity to hone my craft and immerse myself in the arts. This background profoundly influenced my appreciation for culture and history, enriching my travel experiences and giving me a unique perspective.

The Inspiration Behind Moon River Voyages
My blog’s name, Moon River Voyages, is inspired by the classic song “Moon River” from the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Like Holly Golightly, I embrace an attitude of independence and adventure. I’m also an avid Audrey Hepburn fan, and her timeless elegance and spirit continue to inspire my journeys.
