About Me
Hi! I'm Alice Teacake
Word up! My name is Alice Teacake and I'm passionate about encouraging you to face your fears, push your boundaries and reach your full potential through solo female adventure travel.
I've been rocking feminist, girl power travel for 7 years now. I'm always seeking my next challenge. If it scares me, I do it. I'm the female version of the 'Yes Man'. Hells yeah.
I have been voted as one of the top solo female travel bloggers to follow in 2019.
Highlights include driving solo on my bike across Vietnam, driving from the UK to Mongolia on the Mongol Rally with an all female team, being a burlesque dancer in Shanghai, exploring Bangladesh solo, getting stranded on Taiwanese islands and learning martial arts in China with a shaved head. It's a good life!
How solo female travel became my life
I met a girl on a train when I was a psychologist in the UK. I liked my job but something was missing. She'd just got back from India teaching English. After 4 hours of non-stop talking, I got off the train and booked myself on a TEFL course. I quit my job, my apartment, my current relationship… everything. People told me I was crazy but I said 'Screw this. I'm doing what I REALLY want'. Within 3 months, I was in South Korea teaching English. It's the best decision I've ever made.
I threw myself out of my comfort zone to see what I could really do as a woman. I took a solo trip to the capital of Seoul for a week. I saw I could do things by myself and loved it. I told myself I could do more. I saved up my teaching money and hit the road. I hiked Japan, rode solo around Thailand, got lost in the mountains in Vietnam, had a serious history lesson in Cambodia… and so on and so on.
In every country, I pushed my comfort zone just that little bit further.
It's when I found myself teaching English in China in 2015 that my friend thankfully asked me where the hell my 'blog' was. So I started Teacake Travels. I've been writing ever since and now it's my full-time job. Yippee!
Now I want to help you travel solo
I've always believed in the power of women and how amazing we are. I'm fed up hearing that women 'shouldn't do this' or 'not go there'. Teacake Travels is a travel blog for strong women like you.
Travel is not just bikinis, cocktails and pretty pictures. Travel is real-life learning experiences, full of challenge, adventure and a bigger and better you. So through inspirational stories, destination guides, travel tips and a ton of motivation, YOU'RE GONNA MAKE IT GIRL!
What is Teacake's mission?
I motivate and inspire women to face their fears, push their boundaries and reach their full potential through adventurous travel.
With a strong focus on female empowerment and a bold, honest attitude, I'm always looking for the next challenge to encourage my readers to fully embrace girl power! I encourage women to really see what they are capable of through solo female adventure travel.

Testimonials
Bloggers like Alice make my job so easy! She has attention to details, brings suggestions to the table and keeps a positive energy with the work that she does. We did not give a deadline for Alice but she voluntarily finished everything on time! She delivered relevant and timely responses, plus content which is beneficial both for her and the client. I will definitely recommend Alice to anyone who wishes to boost their online exposure.
What I truly like about her blog is that it reads like the notes of an 8 year challenge to one's self. After all, travel isn't about simply switching destinations rapidly and posting lots of photos on Instagram. It's a journey of self discovery, and Alice has a lot to share.
Alice's blog is very open, something I admire tremendously. She writes about what is important to her.
From love to tough times, leaving home to working in China as a Burlesque dancer, she's not afraid to tell it all, and I LOVE it.
