What kind of traveler are you? Are you the one who likes to wing it throughout (because that is "real traveling"), or are you the meticulous planner who gets a dangerously high pulse when something (minor) ruins your perfect itinerary?

This was a trek I did on my first long solo trip, a six-month journey alone in South America. During this 4 day trek in the Amazon, I had noticed that the indeginous Wiwa tribe had a very close relationship with nature, and connected this...

Hi Reader, I hope you have had a wonderful weekend! Here in the Arctic, summer is coming slowly, which means the mountain sides are growing a thin vail of green day by day, and the midnight sun has since long arrived (I sleep with a mask on these days). First things first, today I really want to ask for your help. I have decided to create a Transformative Solo Female Travel Mastery Program. After a lifetime of travel, often solo, I have had countless conversations with women saying they would...

Hi Reader Have you noticed that big desicions sometimes are made in a fraction of a second? Like deciding to buy a new pair of jeans can sometimes take longer than deciding to buy a house?
