When I first started traveling for any extended period of time there would inevitably be someone asking me if I had been there? or there? or there? and anything but an affirmative answer chipped away at the overall satisfaction of my trip. I would be nurturing this nagging disappointment about all the places I had missed.

Travel requires making choices and it is, of course, impossible to go everywhere.

It took some time, but I no longer allow these questions to perturb me. If I missed something that seems fabulous, I can now hope to return.

But perhaps more importantly I have learned to cherish the places where I’ve been.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post! Welcome to the tales of a woman solo traveler and thoughts to make today the start of something new. I hope you find information and inspiration in the text and images and join me in my quest for growth, wonderment and self-improvement.
