solo travel
You've got somewhere to go, but no one to go with; solo travel is the nexus of independence and opportunity.
To Ride A Jet-Powered Broomstick
When I was growing up my mom hated planes. In fact, to this day she wouldn’t even drive me to the airport. We drove everywhere, every family vacation was a road trip kind of vacation. When I was a sophomore in high school my choir class took a trip to Boston, Mass. and rode a bus for 27 hours to get there. I had gotten pretty lucky, in my dated opinion, that the occasion never arose to have to ride in a plane.

One Day
I'll start this off by letting you know, I love animals more than anything on this Earth, and my most ambitious goal is to eventually save an animal species. I recently got accepted into college for a Wildlife and Forestry Conservation degree. This will take a few years but once that is done, I plan on visiting every country available to me to see at least one of their Wildlife Preservation facilities. I know this will be a very expensive and hard feat, but I have never been more excited to plan something in my life. Whether this be a solo trip or a trip I take with my now fiancé is yet to be determined, but the trip will happen.

The Edge of the World:
Inspiration is not a guest that you invite to dinner. It is not a reliable friend you can count on when you need it most. Inspiration is not the type you introduce to your parents as your trusted partner. No. Inspiration is a fickle lover. An illustrious, delicious, ever flighty vagabond. It goes where it pleases and does not beg you to follow, however, you will. You cannot help but want to be along for the ride. Inspiration demands to be chased. A lustful, romantic, desire – oh how we peruse it all our lives! Therefore, I would not wait for inspiration to find me. The purpose of my solo trip would be to find it. I would at first think. Some may consider me a fool but where lust is present, so is foolhardiness. They say love is what makes you blind. Quite frankly it is my firm belief that, while this is true, it is even more true of lust – and by association – of inspiration.

Over the Sea to Scotland
Traveling abroad is an experience, unlike any other. It changes you as you experience different cultures, meet new people, and open your mind to new ways of thinking. Similarly, solo travel is a life-shifting experience. With no one else to rely on, you gain new perspectives, courage, and grow by facing challenges alone.

My dream solo trip
My dream trip would be to go to the Maldives which has many islands in South Asia however not all are inhabited. It is totally surrounded by beautiful waters full of different sea life that can even be seen to come up the beaches and your hut. My first choice of accommodation would be on the Fihalhohi island as they are famous for the over water huts and a private terrace. I would choose to stay at the Movenpick resort or Varu by atmosphere as these one I have heard highly recommend and have beach front huts as secondary options. Both are not overly to far from the sea airport either and require less than hour further travel by sea plane, ferry or some islands can be done by road.

WESTWARD BOUND
As a married woman, it’s not often that I consider taking a solo trip over a certain distance. But, as individuals we could all use that solo quality time to self-reflect. It is great time to appreciate your own company, increase your spirituality (if you’re a spiritual person) and connect to our Creator.

My Time In Indiana...
Upon a few places I’ve been to in my life so far, Indiana has been one of the toughest locations I’ve experienced in getting help from the locals. Prior to visiting Indiana, I have always moved from place to place in hopes of finding a location I can call home. With that being said, I am firm in my own belief that I cannot personally call Indiana my home.

How I Got the Nerve to Go Backpacking Alone
Doing anything alone is hard for a lot of people - we are social creatures, even us introverts, so it takes courage to decide to be alone. Only, doing something by ourselves is the biggest test of our resolve. We face the opinions of other people - expressions of concern, lack of encouragement, or intimidating expectation of success. Yet the more times we do something alone, the more we practice putting our foot down and doing what is the best for us. This is what I did on my first time backpacking alone. The results were exhilarating.
