WARNING!!! There is somewhat disturbing content and photos in this post from my actual accidents! It’s taken me almost two years to write about how traveling solo almost killed me four times…in a row…in less than two months. I’m sure you can understand why. It’s not exactly fun to talk about, and I still get short of breath when I do...
Finally…someone else to be in my selfies. Oh the irony that protrudes from the statement “You’ll never find a relationship if you solo travel all the time.” I’m sorry, what? You mean to tell me that there’s less of a chance of meeting someone when you’re solo, and doing what you love? Sounds pretty opposite. While I have to...

I decided to take it upon myself to make traveling to the World’s Best Islands my “job” so I can do “market research” for you all, and report back about where to go! I also just really love islands (who doesn’t?!), especially remote ones. So now after going to over one hundred islands, I’ve created a solid guide to help with...
There’s definitely an ongoing debate about what the best Thailand islands are for solo travelers (and travelers in general!). Not going to lie, when I first went to the southern Thailand islands four years ago, they were a lot different than they are now in 2019! For example, many of the Thailand islands tours have evolved to using speedboats that take more...
Fall is coming up quick (seriously tho, HOW?!) which means it’s time to announce the 10 best fall solo travel destinations in 2019! Fall is such a wonderful time of year. The air is cool and crisp, the leaves are a beautiful reddish-brown color and life slows down a little. It’s also the perfect time to travel cheaply! Peak travel season is over which...
For the last three years I’ve been hosting solo travel group trips after realizing a very good point! So many people want to travel but don’t have someone to go with. We know that already. So solo travel is usually the only option (other than not going, which is NOT an option), but what about the people who don’t want to go alone? After traveling solo myself for...
Only have one day in London but want to experience all the trendiest things to do? I’m talking quirky twists on typical staples like High Tea, and neighborhood hangouts only a local would know about. There’s been so many times when I only have had one day in London, and ended up doing the basic tourist things only. Well NOT THIS TIME! This time I did some...
Doing a Vancouver to Banff road trip had been high on my bucket list for years ever since I first saw those stunning photos of Lake Louise. (Be sure to check out my camera gear suggestions if you want to be sure you capture the amazing lake colors!) Of course, back then I had no idea that the stunning Gatorade-blue lake was called Louise, or that there were several...
