MEET CARALEE

Welcome to Every Hidden Lane, a travel blog dedicated to uncovering the world’s tucked-away treasures, charming backstreets, and little-known wonders. I’m Caralee – a lawyer passionate about travel, a love of food, and a drive to explore every corner of the world.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME

I grew up in Whangarei, in the North of New Zealand, and spent much of my childhood as an outdoors kid sailing in the Bay of Islands in a food-loving family. I now live on the Gold Coast, and as I have gained more career freedom and as my children have grown, travel has been a big part of my life. Infact, I have crafted my life and business to experience more of what I love.

My friends often comment, ‘You have been away a lot lately, or are you home yet or still away?’ It is true that I am always finding ways to explore every little place around the world.

Every Hidden Lane was born from my belief that the most memorable travel experiences are often found off the beaten path. From winding cobblestone alleys in historic cities to remote landscapes only locals know, I aim to share the stories, sights, and flavours that make each destination truly unique. Here, you’ll find travel guides, food adventures, and insider tips to help you discover places that go beyond the guidebook.

Join me as I navigate through vibrant markets, savour local dishes, and seek out hidden lanes in destinations near and far. Whether planning your next big adventure or simply exploring a new perspective, I hope this blog inspires you to wander a little further, look a little closer, and uncover every hidden lane along the way.

Happy exploring!

Thanks for stopping by!
