We’re exploring the world in greater numbers year by year, challenging the status quo and proving, not only to others but also to ourselves, just how strong and independent we can be.

When I was in high school my psychology teacher asked us to illustrate a small picture book of what we predicted would happen throughout the course of our lives.

That is what I’m addicted to, the adventure of the undefined. Am I a fool for trusting perfect strangers so openly, or even worse, sometimes doing it alone?

Take advantage of the free wine. Twice.

I promise to surround myself with people who elevate me because supportive relationships are healthy ones.

The place to find the perfect out-of-the-box thinkers, problem solvers, and movers and shakers is the arrivals hall at an international airport.

If there’s nobody around to hold us back, we can say yes to all of the things we really want to do.

Traveling alone seems scary at first, and that’s because of one big thing in particular: The prospect of loneliness.

If I saw you again I would hug you, just to thank you for walking away.

Traveling on her own will cause a woman to reevaluate her life and give her space to think, feel, and grow. It will turn into a crippling addiction of saving up for her next flight and constantly seeking adventures.

Cultivating fearlessness is a chief component for happy, successful people. Those who don’t fear limits, invest in themselves, and believe they can do what they set their minds to are the ones who chase, and often catch, their dreams.
