Hopkins is a Melbourne, Australia native who has spent the past two years globetrotting, and the result is It's Beautiful Here, a blog full of her Instagram-friendly photos and recommendations – all with the goal of inspiring a kind of travel that is, as she told us, “not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.” What sets the blog apart from other first-person travelogues is that Hopkins also profiles a local in every city she visits.
