Solo travel can be a lot of things: scary, empowering, affordable, expensive, exhausting, and energizing.

I’ve been to 34+ countries, most of them as a solo traveler, hence the name of this site. I’ve been to Africa, Abu Dhabi, and Qatar alone. I’ve snowmobiled atop a glacier in Iceland, I’ve surfed in Hawaii, and I’ve snorkeled in the Great Barrier Reef. Was I anxious? At times. And at times even I still get travel anxiety, especially when I solo travel! But amazing adventures exist just outside your comfort zone.

My goal is to inspire your trips, give you practical advice on how to plan, and ease your fears so that you can solo travel the world!

If you like it, put a pin on it!
