Mini bio
How it started.
Liz’s first solo trip came after a school visit to Europe was cancelled. She organised the journey herself and kept travelling. In 2016 she started Mundukos to help other travellers, inspired by the blogs that had helped her. Forbes reports that she opened the website with her sister.
Making travel her work.
A journalist by training, Liz built the project while living in Spain. In her own account of working on the road, she describes choosing Barcelona as a base and funding travel through communication consulting, digital marketing, blogging and travel journalism.
Finding her audience.
In her January 2026 Gente Bien interview, Liz described YouTube as a major driver of traffic to her website. She identified the pandemic as a turning point: her reporting skills helped her explain travel restrictions and changing requirements when people needed clear information.
What fans come for.
Her guides focus on the details that make independent travel feel manageable: budgets, places to stay, transport and trip planning. Alongside destination stories, she shares what it takes to earn a living while travelling.
