I travel solo, and I’ve spent years moving through places on my own. I’m drawn to local food, everyday routines, and music scenes — the kind of things that tell you more about a place than any guidebook. Traveling alone has taught me how to read a room, trust my instincts, and deal with the messy, imperfect moments on the road. I write to share honest, practical experiences that help other travelers feel more confident, prepared, and safe wherever they go.
