"Of all the books in the world, the best stories are found between the pages of a passport."

For me, learning is best done in person. I am an advocate for solo travel. Anyone can do it! When all you have to depend on is yourself, your human capability extends more than it ever would. I have now explored nearly FORTY countries solo. 

Join me as I share tips, trips, and guides on how to safely and adventurously travel. You can't be an expert on a location that you only stay for a day, then move on from. My goal is to be there long enough to feel like I live there, by shopping in the markets, knowing the street vendors by name, cheering on the same performers each day, and avoiding the obviously tourist-packed areas (aka tourist traps). To do this type of traveling, you can't read conventional travel information or blogs.

​              This type of travel is unconventional. 

Although sometimes scary (like many new things can be), traveling and exploring as a minimalist is the best way to do it.
