One of the things that is asked of me when I tell people that I usually solo travel is how am I not lonely? To be honest, it can get lonely sometimes. But other times, it’s a wonderful opportunity to meet other travelers! It forces you to get out of your comfort zone. So, you…
I’ll be honest with you. When I first started traveling to Europe, I brought a crossbody bag and a clutch. I was somehow convinced I would need both, find myself somewhere ‘fancy,’ and desperately need the clutch in addition to my day bag. Let me help you out. You only need one bag on a…
Like many of you recently, I had to cancel a trip I had planned to take this month to Europe. I was to go from Spain to Portugal, then to Greece. With a pitstop in London on the way home. Sadly, because of COVID-19, I have canceled this lovely three-week trip! It was to be…
I got one of American Airlines’ paper flight vouchers last year on a return trip from Washington, DC, to Los Angeles. There was some weather, so they had to reroute the flight.

While I await my next adventure, I’ve been digging into TV shows set in Europe that’ll spark my wanderlust. As nearly everyone has access to various streaming platforms now, it’s a great way to see a lot of the world from the comfort of your own home. This list of TV shows set in Europe…
Before heading to Austria, Germany, Slovenia, and Croatia this summer, I wanted to get at least a little understanding of the languages. I focused primarily on German, as that’s what’s spoken in Austria and Germany, where we were spending the bulk of our time. My mom had heard about an app at her library called…
When planning my vacations, I always look into tourist passes whenever possible. I’ve done it in many different cities and usually find that it saves me some time and money. So, when I was planning a trip to Rome, I decided to get the Omnia Card (aka Omnia Pass) for the three days I was there,…
I love travel apps! They’ve saved me SO much time and energy. And no one wants to waste either while on vacation! I’m old enough that I recall life before them, and I don’t want to go back, haha! Downloading travel apps made my trip a million times easier, so I’m here with a list…
