I’m Marika! I am a traveler with a hidden disability on a mission to explore the world's hidden gems and inspire people who may also have limitations to do the same.
Meet Clumsy Girl Travels!
At 19, I was diagnosed with a degenerative neurological condition called Ataxia. I decided that after my diagnosis I wasn't going to sulk around and let my condition get the best of me. No way! So combined with my passion for travel and my love for helping people Clumsy Girl Travels was born! Here you will find Travel tips, itineraries, guides, inspiration, offbeat experiences and you will have to deal with my terrible jokes along the way. Sorry, not sorry. Whether you have limitations or not, I hope you will join me on my adventures around the world as I trip and fall from one country to the next.
