about Lori 26

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

<p>I’ve been to 34+ countries, most of them as a solo traveler, hence the name of this site. I’ve been to <a href="https://mostlysolotravel.com/category/travel-type/safari/">Africa</a>, Abu Dhabi, and <a href="https://mostlysolotravel.com/category/destinations/middle-east/qatar/">Qatar</a> alone. I’ve <a href="https://mostlysolotravel.com/snowmobiling-in-iceland/">snowmobiled atop a glacier in Iceland</a>, 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.</p>



<p>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!</p>
