Welcome 👋 I’m Tiffany — I write Two Shoes One World for travelers who want to pack light, plan efficiently, and stay active wherever they find themselves.
All of my writing is based on my own experience. If you’re the type of traveler who would rather be out exploring than overplanning, you’re in the right place!
What you’ll find here
One-bag packing systems that allows you to bring only what you need (complete gear lists, pack-light challenges)
Efficient guides + itineraries designed for active travelers (the “best use of time” version of a destination)
Active travel routes (plug-and-play runs, walks, and scenic paths you can do without a ton of planning on your end)
Practical travel tips that reduce stress and friction (lodging booking to dos and not to dos, scams to look out for)
