Yassas

Hello, I’m Molly and one (short, brunette) half of the dynamic-duo behind Curated - a platform putting the joy back into travel planning.

Featuring Alex, the tall blonde ying to my yang

Over the past two years, I’ve launched a podcast, built a platform, raised investment, thrown events, burned through savings and most recently started developing software for other companies just to keep the lights on.

In the words of the OG Greek island icon…

For the most part, it’s been downright brilliant.

Meeting interesting and lovely people around the country. Nosying around some incredible spaces. Talking about everything from regenerative farming and rewilding to supporting local artists and the healing powers of ancient rainforests. Pinch-me moment after pinch-me moment.

But 2025 had other plans for me.

The breakdown of a long-term relationship. My Saturn Return coming home to roost. A hankering to get away from London and make the time and space for some long overdue introspection.

Welcome to The Hermit Diaries

So I’ve decided to channel my inner Donna and set sail for a remote island you’ve probably not heard of. I hadn’t.

One month. A small house on the beach. No phone signal.

Nothing to do. Nowhere to be. No one to see.

And what can you expect from The Hermit Diaries? Tbh, your guess is as good as mine.

While I can’t promise you a hat-trick of hot summer romances (well here’s to hoping!!) or hunky Swedes with sailboats, I imagine it will look something like…

  • Daily updates from life on a nudist beach

  • Thoughts and reflections from two years of the founder schlog

  • Things that help bring me back from surviving → thriving

  • Wiser words from my suitcase of books

  • A frankly unnecessary number of ABBA puns

If this sounds like your cup of tea (or ouzo, who am I to judge) then come along for the ride and welcome to The Hermit Diaries 🇬🇷
