Introduction!

“Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.”

For as long as I could remember, I’ve always longed to discover something more than what I was surrounded with. Maybe it was because I grew up in New York City and I was in constant immersion of various cultures or perhaps it was my high school trip to Spain where I had my first glimpse of cobblestone streets. Fast forward a few years (okay, many) and I still couldn’t shake off my desire to discover the world. As with most people, I did what was expected of me. I went to college, got internships and side jobs with any free time I had, graduated and started my first “big girl job”. In the midst of all this, I started losing sight of what I really wanted out of life. What did I do? I still kept making excuses. My workload was too much, I couldn’t afford it, my PTO would never get approved, etc. Until one morning, while the rays of summer sunshine hit my face, it hit me. It will never be the right time.

With that said my friends, I requested my time off from work, booked my first solo adventure and have not looked back. My goal here is to shake off the stigma around solo traveling especially as a female and inspire women of all backgrounds to gain the confidence they need to pack up and go. And if you’re like me, still juggle a corporate job while trying to live your best life.
