I came to solo travel in my 40s and love it. It gives me time in my own head while I explore but also pushes me to meet more people than when I travel with friends. I love to hear people's stories. I seem to fall madly for each new place I visit. At home, I'm conscious of very real ways my day to day life is influenced by the places I've visited and the lessons I've learned from strangers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydive (tandem)--somehow an incredible thrill and deep serenity both in the short time it takes to fall to the earth. That contrast was so amazing to me!
