Solo Travel
All About Traveling Solo!
Solo travel has changed my life—and I created this section to help it change yours too.
Whether you’re a first-time solo traveler or looking to deepen your connection with the world (and yourself), this space is full of empowering guides, personal stories, safety tips, and destination inspiration curated just for you.
I’ve hiked alone in the Dolomites, navigated public transport across multiple continents, and found healing through quiet mornings in unfamiliar places.
Through these posts, I hope to demystify solo travel, especially for women, and show you that you don’t have to wait for the perfect moment or travel partner—you can go now, and you can go solo.
