The girl's guide to all things travel; optimal itineraries, recommendations and more for solo female travel and group trips alike.
The People You Meet At Airport Bars
I love an airport bar. I'm talking a classic, overpriced spot with little to no ambiance, four boring, but very established beers on tap and a bartender sporting a lanyard. Hey, I’m low maintenance when it comes to killing time between whatever travel hiccups blow my way. Sure, you could hit the lounges, drown your travel anxiety with all-you-can-drink whatever, but that vibe is more laptopy (An adjective I just made up.) Not very social. I prefer an unpredictable rotation of people from wherever, going wherever. A swift, non-committal, non-judgement conversation that will pass the time of even the worst airline’s mechanical issues. These are the places you can meet a one-hour friend. I won't partake in those bars where you order through ipads. You punch in an order and swipe your card like you’re at a food & booze ATM. What a burn on society. That says, “Nobody wants to talk to you anymore. Click these buttons if you want something, and here are the suggested gratuities.” Ouch. That hurts. (I’m looking at you, Toronto Pearson.)

The woman who walked around the world
"Why?" It's a simple question, and one that people ask Angela Maxwell frequently. Yet until recently, the American struggled to answer why, exactly, she upended a perfectly fine life in pursuit of a big dream. But for Maxwell, "why" is a question worth answering. After all, she embarked on a journey that very few people attempt: in 2013, she decided to walk around the world – alone.

Many people believe that the holiday season is finished as the summer season comes to a close, but some of the best travel months of the year are September, October, and November.

As a result, you can visit some of the places on your bucket list for a lower cost (and under far calmer conditions). Here are some ideas for places to visit this fall if you want to get away.

What You Should and Shouldn’t Do While Visiting Sydney
Travel has been my life mentor for well over the past seven or eight years. Through exploring unknown lands, meeting new people, experiencing new things and facing an avalanche of challenges. I’m fortunate to see the world through a new set of eyes every now and then. Sydney is one of my favourite destinations on the planet, an incredibly friendly and laid-back city, with residents who admire their harbour and are happy to share it with people from all parts of the world. But this wasn’t the case every time I visited. There are a couple of things you should still avoid to ensure you have a safe staycation, be on the good side of the locals and most importantly, don’t get ripped off.
