I am a designer most of the year and a traveler on my off days. While I enjoy traveling in groups, I prefer traveling alone or at least have dedicated alone time during my group travels.

During my solo travels, I like to explore cool architecture and art exhibitions—this is my “me” time. Part of the fun of solo traveling is the research and planning process. And I will be sharing some of that here in this blog as well.

Some of my solo travels also took place during major life changes. These trips were my refuge, my chance to reset, refocus, and, in some ways, rediscover things I enjoy and appreciate.

This blog is for me to pause and reflect on these trips, for my future self to look back on, revisit, and cherish. And if, in this process, any of these writings are useful for anyone else, that'll be amazing.
