solo travel
You've got somewhere to go, but no one to go with; solo travel is the nexus of independence and opportunity.
Camino de Santiago, Day -7
The final countdown begins... One week left before my biggest adventure ever—well… so far. Yeah, pretty soon I will sit on a plane with the one-way ticket that will take me away from Manchester. Take me away from everything and everyone I know, away from friends, and my daily routine, away from work and the hamster run. So you wanna hear about thoughts and stuff now, right? Well, here you go—there are moments when I’m still not 100 percent sure if I reeeally realized what am I actually about to do. But it’s okay.

Considering a Sailboat
When arriving in California, after an epic roadtrip, seizing the means of familiar and future was my primary personal task. I didn't have even a bed, yet. I'll have fixed that by now, I hope! A boat, however, that was the logical first step for someone who dreams of seeing the world in the most sustainable way possible, and creating content to share with everyone along the way of chasing that dream.

Traveling Without Your Family Can Be Relaxing and Inspiring

To travel without your family can be inspiring, even if you are by yourself. Taking a trip somewhere gives you freedom and confidence.

Campsite #10, Biei: A Flourish of Flowers
Biei was by far the most romantic sorta place I visited on my travels. Perfectly-lined fields of grass and dirt waiting for seeds to sprout forth their life into the fresh country air, flower farms bursting with all colours of the rainbow, the surging, fluorescent blue of the Biei River, all set against the backdrop of the great Daisetsuzan mountain range... this was a place I wasn't going to leave in a hurry.

Travel Brings Power and Love Back to Your Life
Rumi Jalalud-Din once said, "Travel brings power and love back into your life," and we couldn't agree more! When is the last time you allowed yourself to travel solo and let go of your inhibitions? Many couples in serious relationships hesitate to be away from their partner for an extended period, but the truth is that being apart for a few days can bring the love back into your relationship.

Wanting to See the World
From a young age my parents placed a great deal of importance on traveling and exploring the world. Both of my parents have not only lived in many different countries, but they’ve traveled across the globe. By the age of 15 I had been traveling with my family to countries such as Vanuatu, Bali, and the United States.

Finding My Heart in Lisbon
Lisbon seduced me with her colourful charm, and incredible strength. She is a city that once crumbled away after an earthquake hit one November morning in 1755. Less than a year later, after the rubble had cleared, she rebuilt herself, and painted the city with colours so bright. Like Lisbon, parts of my world had crumbed, but she inspired me to wander her streets with a heart full of hope.

New Yorker vs Bali, Indonesia
First stop JFK! 10,125 miles later, and I’ve landed in Bali, Indonesia. My first impression was breathingtaking. This being my first time traveling internationally, and solo. Everything almost felt surreal in a way. I couldn't stop smiling. The air was warm, and the heat of the sun was dancing on my skin.
