SAWADEE KA!- THE GOING SOLO STORY
Greetings from Southeast Asia! After spending 4 months in Thailand traveling solo last winter, I bought a one-way ticket to Bali in September 2022.
This is the story of how a licensed clinical professional counselor yogi went down a crazy rabbit hole and gave up on an ordinary life to pursue adventure and freedom. My hope is that this blog will make you feel~ laugh, cry, smile, and relate as I recount my experiences that led to this crazy, unconventional travel lifestyle.
I also hope to provide practical tips for solo travel. If a 50 year old gen X gal can do it, you can too! Cheers and happy reading!
Disclosure: I do provide some travel-related affiliate links to help fund my adventures. Feel free to click on them if you fancy but no pressure!
