Welcome to Intentional Detours!

I’m Samantha, a 20-something on an indefinite, “intentional detour” through the offbeat corners of the world.

I’m on a super low-budget quest to meet the friendly people and see the epic off-beat sights that make up this planet, all whilst sharing guides and stories to show and inspire YOU to do the same!

I’ve been on the road in one way or another since 2017, and since I set out to do life on the road in 2019, I’ve spent more than two years traveling in Pakistan, and now call the majestic mountains of Hunza Valley home.

Intentional Detours is all about giving you the best info on backpacking in Pakistan, as well as how to get off the beaten path anywhere else in the world, too.
