Getting to the Seychelles is already a commitment for solo travelers.

The Seychelles was one of those destinations that lived on my beach bucket list for the longest time. When I finally had the opportunity to travel there after road tripping Madagascar, it felt like the tropical respite would be the antidote to the adventure that came with my time in Madagascar. While many choose to …
After road tripping Madagascar, I was very much looking forward to the pure and utter relaxation in the Seychelles. What I assumed would be a relaxing getaway managed to completely exceed my expectations: the Seychelles aren’t just relaxing, they are paradise.

When you google safaris, whether in Tanzania, Botswana, or South Africa, the price seems to always be a minimum of $3000 (and that’s on the low-end). African safaris also seem to be a time-consuming venture, and since I had just finished …
The never-ending concern of whether us women feel safe traveling alone will forever linger. One of the most concerning destinations in media is Egypt. Should women travel alone to Egypt? It’s a subjective question, but after having gone there alone, I enjoyed my time so much there that I plan to return. Here’s my personal …
