This year, 2024 will officially be my tenth year of traveling solo! I went on my first ever solo trip when I was 26, thinking I was “too old” to travel solo, but low and behold, I discovered a whole wide world, and I have been diligently exploring all of it ever since! There’s so many things I’ve learned, but here are my top ten, and hopefully...
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.

Year-ago-me would have expected to be getting married by 29, and having a baby by 30, because that’s what seemed to be expected by family...

Trust me when I say that I've traveled solo enough to know every safety tip for traveling like a ninja, and staying out of harms way. Here's my top safety tips!

Do you gag every time you see yet another one of your college friends post an engagement photo on Facebook?
