It’s an experience that’s as much about personal growth as it is about the destination.
My first solo trip taught me so much about myself and gave me a new appreciation for the world.
The best part is that it allows you to do things entirely on your own terms. Want to sleep in? Go for it. Spend hours wandering a museum? No one’s rushing you. Dance the night away with locals? Why not!
If the idea of traveling alone feels intimidating, start small! Book a weekend getaway nearby, try dining solo, or take a day trip to a place you’ve always wanted to visit. Once you get a taste for it, you’ll be hooked on the independence and spontaneity of solo travel.
There’s nothing quite like starting a new year by dreaming up all the adventures to come. After the ups and downs of 2025, I’m ready to hit reset and make 2026 all about exploring new places, trying new things, and creating some unforgettable memories with friends and family.
For 2026, I’ve created a bucket list packed with experiences that will spark your curiosity, inspire you to step outside your comfort zone, and allow you to “choose your own adventure.”
