Live Bravely - A Solo Travel Lifestyle Blog

Three years as a solo female traveler, and I've fallen in love with a lifestyle I never imagined possible. I am equal parts wonderer and wanderer. I learned how to convert my passion for travel into a sustainable lifestyle. And still, people often ask me if I'm scared to be traveling alone. I reassure them that women traveling alone is not uncommon. In fact, I'm not alone, I'm with myself. 

I was a career focused, overworked, divorced forty-something who felt like she her time was only producing enough to the pay bills. There was never much left over for the adventures I dreamed of.  Instead, adulting meant always postponing those travel ambitions for the priorities of adulthood. But 2020 changed everything.  I had been reminded far too many times,  in the most devastating ways that tomorrow is not promised.

I was done surviving and ready to start living a life of joy. After selling my home and my physical possessions, I quit my job and launched myself into an entirely different lifestyle as a solo traveler. Then in 2023 I took the plunge into van life with a beautiful Ram ProMaster, and the adventures keep on coming.

My lifestyle blog is out in the world to inspire others who are longing for something different. Perhaps my stories will encourage you to live bravely and never postpone joy. I'm happy to share my solo adventures, learnings, successes and failures while providing some humor along the way. This crazy journey has evoked many old memories, while creating thousands of new ones. Happy to have you ride along with me.
