If you want to have a really bad time on vacation, start by wearing uncomfortable shoes. There’s just no place in sightseeing and adventure travel for blisters and rubbing- we’ve all been there! I’m a sneaker snob, and while comfort is king, I’m equally unwilling to sacrifice style. I’m also cheap and am usually not […]
Cappadocia, Turkey may not be at the top of your travel bucket list, but it should be! It’s a magical place for solo travel (and group travel) and is unlike anywhere I’ve been before.

Ladies, this one’s for you: 18 days and 5 countries with a carry-on bag and a personal item only! No packing cubes, no rolling clothes, no praying that the flight attendants ignore my overstuffed bag at the gate, and no worrying about the airline losing my luggage!
