Where was my first solo trip?

Iceland, 2016 🇮🇸 I was only 17 years old. It was not smooth sailing… 🥴 But it was the trip that changed the course of my life and I loved every difficult, awesome minute.

Listen to this podcast episode I did all about it!

Where do you recommend for my first solo trip?

Start local! Book an Airbnb or space in your own city.

Then, go bigger. Somewhere 50 – 100 miles away. Maybe the next state!

Then, internationally. Iceland (anywhere!), Canada (Quebec or Toronto), and Puerto Rico (San Juan) are great starter destinations.
