Solo Travel: Navigating Language Barriers

Posted on October 18, 2024 by Junny

Solo Travel: Navigating Language Barriers – Maybe you’re planning a trip to a destination you’ve dreamed of since you were little, or to a place you feel drawn to, or maybe you’re looking for something different and new. Whatever your reasons, the chance to meet new people, see amazing sights, try exotic food and challenge yourself is a thrill!

Even if you’ve spent months (or years) studying the local language, you may find the experience of communicating a little scary or frustrating at the moment. I’ve spent years learning French, I can read and listen, and… then I clam up when it’s time to speak. It takes a while of immersion before I can get out of my head and have conversations beyond 101.

Solo Travel: Dealing With Homesickness

Posted on October 5, 2024 by Junny

Solo Travel: Dealing With Homesickness – Something many people aren’t so quick to share about their travels are the moments they’ve struggled and the moments they’ve just wanted to book a flight home. Trust me, even as a seasoned and very experienced traveler, I still have moments in my travels where I’m like “I’m done, I want to go home”.

Feeling homesick can mean something different to everyone. For some, they miss the comforts of home life, for others, they miss family or routine. For me, I often miss my gym routine and regular sleep schedule.

Solo Travel In Nature: Hiking And Camping

Posted on August 11, 2024 by Junny

Solo Travel In Nature: Hiking And Camping – My backcountry camping story begins in the spring of 2014 with a guided trip to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. I was addicted. I have dedicated my life to spending most days under the stars and leaving my bedroom as much as possible. And admittedly I was extremely lucky in that I never knocked on wood and had a serious accident in the mountains. But somewhere along the way I realized that time is outside and that’s when I find my best thinking. Away from the ringing of mobile phones, car horns and the familiar, or disturbing, voices of friends. My go-to place when I need to find them. That and a thread if not tough camping buddies – and here I am. Active female backcountry camper (the female part I can’t control). And I know it can be scary – … Read the rest

Solo Travel: Experiencing Local Cuisine

Solo Travel: Experiencing Local Cuisine – One of the most exciting parts of our cross-country move was planning our road trip meals! I can’t wait to share how we meal planned for this seven day trip from NYC to Seattle, where we stayed and my best tips and tricks for eating healthy on a budget on the road.

I am the planner in my family, so planning road trips across the country was my responsibility. I loved every second of it. My favorite app is called Roadtrippers. I’ve used it for years to plan awesome road trips and I think it’s a great value at $25/year even if you only do one major road trip in a 12 month period. Planning a road trip with this app is easy compared to Google Maps.
