If you’ve been exploring the world, or you’re just getting started and want to share your journey, I’d love to hear from you. Are you interested in writing about your travels, sharing your tips and tricks, or talking about the places that have shaped you? If so, email me — let’s connect, collaborate, and inspire each other to see more of this

So you want to start solo traveling but don’t know where to begin — I got you, friend. I wasn’t always this adventurous. My family will tell you I used to be shy, quiet, and very much not the “hop on a plane alone” type. College helped me break out of my shell, and becoming a travel nurse pushed me the rest of the way. When you’re moving to a new city every three months, you learn how to make friends, find hobbies, and explore on your own. That lifestyle made the transition i

A floating beach club in Phuket is a must‑see, and Yona Beach Club is more than a beach club — it’s an experience. One perk of being a woman and a solo traveler is their Ladies Pass: $60 USD / 2000 baht, which includes two free drinks. Since I went on a Sunday, the vibe was very DJ‑forward and party‑leaning. Entry didn’t start until 5 PM, and the pools closed for swimming at 7 PM. I’ll be honest — I was a little nervous about going after having a horrible experience at a beac

Fun fact: I currently live on Guam as a travel nurse, which means I’m closer to Asia than I am to the States. So when I saw a quick window to explore, I booked a day-and-a-half trip to Manila — and I’m so glad I did. While I didn’t do much sightseeing, the highlights were worth sharing: Hotel Okura Manila I stayed near the airport (great call, Olivia), and this hotel was giving luxury. Japanese-inspired, sleek, and serene — it felt like a five-star experience for a fraction o

I’m so excited that you are thinking of starting this fun journey. I created this page as a space for black women who are interested in solo traveling. I wanted to provide a page solely based on tips for women so they are able to have a fun and safe trip. Here are some of my tips: Choose destinations that are welcoming Prioritize places that feel warm, welcoming, and inviting. Look for cities with expat and black communities. Usually this is a great tell of this country bein

The infamous Phi Phi Island photos — I couldn’t wait to get to Phuket just so I could finally see them in person. A couple of weeks before my trip, I booked an 8‑hour day tour through Agoda. I was already hesitant since I only had two days in Phuket, but I figured I’d make it work. Then TikTok got me. I came across a video from a Black woman sharing her Phi Phi experience, and the comments were full of people saying, “Don’t book a tour — go on your own.” So I canceled my rese

Bangkok was everything I didn’t know I needed — chaotic, vibrant, delicious, overwhelming in the best way, and full of moments that reminded me why I love solo travel so much. From the temples (the few I actually made it to), to the cooking class, to the cocktail bars, to the Black‑owned lounge that felt like home, this trip gave me culture, comfort, and a whole lot of stories to bring back with me. Traveling alone at 29, stepping into year 30, and checking off another countr

Cocktail Bars I Loved To know me is to know I love a good dirty martini. I will search high and low for that perfect speakeasy vibe or a bar curated to making the best cocktails. I’m always on the hunt for cocktail bars with ambiance, good music, and bartenders who take their craft seriously. Here are a few spots I visited in Bangkok that I would 100% recommend if you’re a cocktail girlie like me. This post is exclusive to finding that bar that’s for you. Liv‑a‑Little Approve

If you read my bio, then you already know I’m currently 29 — but the gag is… I turn 30 in June. Insert audience booing . What a blessing it is to make it to a new decade though. This year, I decided to make a 30×30 list: 30 new things I want to do before or during year 30. One of the big ones? Visit three new countries. Thailand has ALWAYS been on my list. I love everything Thai — the massages (you need to experience that at least once in your life), the food (mango sticky ri
