About Me
📍Currently in France 🇫🇷
Hey there🙋♀️
I’ve been seeing the world since May 2022 ✨
Here’s my story:
I remember back in college I couldn’t wait to finish school and go into the “real world” - get a job so I could start traveling on my own!
I did my first solo trip in 2019 🤩 a year after finishing my Bachelor’s. I was 24 at the time - my first time to explore out there on my own! 🥹 Back then I had just started a new job and didn’t have a lot of money BUT I had a lot of courage! 🙏🏽
I knew I was ready✨
I was on instagram one day, scrolling, as we always do 😂 and came across this event post about tree-planting that is happening in 2 days at a village not very far from my city - so I signed up!!🙈🤩
I packed my bags and headed to the bus station! I was excited 😁😁 but also nervous😂 the bus left around midnight and we arrived at the local town by 5am. I start to navigate and finally arrived at the hostel (where the meet up point was) 30mins later. It was still dark and the event doesnt start ‘til 7 so I had almost 2 hours to spare😁😁 There was a treehouse inside the hostel - big enough to fit 10 people! and i thought okay maybe i could take a nap while waiting but when i got there, i saw these people having drinks, having a nice time and later invited me to their table! We talked and had a meaningful conversation about life, happiness and traveling. ✨🤩
I went to this trip alone and came back with a new set of friends. It’s amazing 🥰🥰
I think what I’m trying to say is that - you never really “travel alone”. The world is full of friends WAITING to get to know you. ✨🤩
Cheers to everyone here! May we all have a beautiful journey ✨🍻
All the best,
Michelle 🌸
