solo travel
You've got somewhere to go, but no one to go with; solo travel is the nexus of independence and opportunity.
Just me myself and I traveling
Always make the best of things Having family living in different states has always made me excited to go visit them. Traveling is one of my favorite things to do but It can be hard waiting on someone else to go with you. In 2019 I planned a trip to visit a family member living in Orlando. I had never been to Disney World or Universal before and I was so excited to finally have that chance. Until I got the text that my family member planned a trip the same exact week I would be there and yes they knew the dates I would be there way in advance. Obviously, I was terribly upset, but I always look on the positive side of things. I was going to Disney world and Universal!! I decided rather than cancel this amazing trip I had planned I would go anyways. Besides, it was my birthday, I was going to make a dream come true of swimming with the dolphins on my actual birthday, so what if I was alone. My family members loss then.

I'm Ridin' Solo
What makes the perfect trip? Is it the food? The culture? Is it the welcoming smiles that greet you after a long ride or flight that whisper to your soul, that tell you it was all worth it? Immersing yourself in the local culture? Some may even say the sights that glaze across their eyeballs as they marvel at the landscapes, architecture and overall beauty of the location. Me? Well, it's quite simple. The thought of experiencing AT LEAST one major trip alone.

What Japanese Culture and Being an Outsider Can Teach You about Writing
As far back as I can remember I’ve always wanted to be a gaijin. Gangster, I meant Gangster. But, you see, I’m gaijin. I’ve always been gaijin. And I think it’s about time that all writers claimed the word gaijin as their own.

I read Scarlett by Alexandra Ripley close to twenty years ago. The story starts where Gone With the Wind ends. Scarlett and Rhett appear to be over for good. Tara is no longer the safe haven of her childhood, but rather a place full of memories and heartache. Scarlett is alone, no longer wealthy, and in need of healing and a fresh start. She decides to go to Ireland where her roots are. She wants to make peace with her past.

Me Time Hiatus!
Me time Hiatus!!!! All I want to do is get away and find myself again. I have been on a spiritual journey for quite some time and I have been trying to figure out how I was going to get some real me time! My dream is to go on a 3-6-month hiatus; no phones or social media just me, the beach, the sunset. But that is not realistic right now, so I settled for a weekend in Phoenix, AZ. My birthday weekend in April of 2020 was when I planned to take my trip. I worked hard for a year and the closer It got the more excited I got. Everything was planned, finalized, and paid for at least 2 months ahead. I told myself I would not let anything get in the way and I would not cancel on myself, I was important enough.

Solo Home Run
I identify as a threadbare gypsy soul, satiated only by travel. Travel sets me free in a way that nothing else does. It sets me free from my anxiety, it sets me free from my depression, it sets me free from the everyday stresses and responsibilities that can really wear one down. The interesting dichotomy of this however, is my near obsessive need to plan out every "leisure" trip that I take. This includes weeks of research, budgeting, packing lists, and connecting with locals prior to my arrival. I have been extremely fortunate in my life reaching back as long as I can remember to have been given the gift of travel. My parents instilled in me a love of experiencing new places before I could even speak. By age five, I was writing hotel reviews in crayon and drawing "maps" of the routes we would take from our home to our destination. By 20, I was blessed enough to have visited 24 different countries and a good deal of the United States as well. And while I do love sharing these experiences with family and friends, there is definitely something special about taking a trip all on one's own. The travel time alone, whether a road trip or a flight, gives you the opportunity to attune yourself to what's on the road ahead and you do not have to answer to anyone or anything but your own sense of wanderlust. It's a beautiful thing, really.
