Travel tips, guides, and support for travellers with anxiety and depression

Thank you for visiting Stumbling Across The World, my little corner of the cyberverse where I show everyone travelling with anxiety is possible.

Living with an anxiety and depression disorder can make it feel like long term travel is a distant dream, but I believe anyone who wants to travel can find a way. At 40 years old I have been diagnosed with C-PTSD (complex post traumatic stress disorder) and am continuing my mental health journey whilst travelling when I can.

I sometimes long to become a full time traveller, and at others just want to stay at home forever.

There have been many roadblocks in my way, and this website is still a work in progress. But I am determined and no matter how many times I have to pick myself up and start again, I refuse to give up on my dream.

With that in mind, please get to know my story in the About Me pages and dive into my travel stories, Guides, and general ramblings!

I’ve split things up into four sections sections:

My Journey so far….

My pre 2026 goal was to have visited every (with the possible exclusion of Antarctica unless I win the lottery!) and to make things more exciting, to visit 40 countries before I’m 40!

I am thrilled that I managed both these goals in March 2026. My 40th country was Chile, thus hitting my final continent of South America.

Which has left me wondering, what next?

Of course 50 countries before I’m 50 is the obvious goal, which is quite achievable. But I’ve also decided to try and visit every country in Europe as well.
