About Me
I’m Aisha, creator of the Urban Escapist travel and wellness blog. I’m from Maryland and my family comes from Germany and Barbados. I’ve always been drawn to diverse people, cultures, languages, and places, as well as writing. I’ve also dealt with anxiety and depression since childhood, when I suffered from a social anxiety disorder called selective mutism. When I began to take steps to proactively manage my anxiety and depression, I found that those passions remained a source of happiness and fulfillment — so I decided to combine them all in a blog.
About the Blog
Urban Escapist is a travel and wellness blog that encourages self-care through travel and local exploration. My blog reflects three important themes: a sense of freedom and exploration, self-care and mental wellness, and cultural appreciation. These themes run through everything you’ll see on Urban Escapist.
I hope this blog inspires you to explore new places wherever you are and engage in some self-care! Don’t forget to leave a comment and follow me on social media. You can also sign up for my newsletter by clicking the button below to get updates delivered right to your inbox.
