When you go on vacation it’s all about you and having a good time, so go ahead and give yourself permission to do those embarrassing things.
My husband loves finding McDonald's around the world, I love going to Starbucks and I have the cups to prove it.
If it makes you happy…. do it! Even if it is buying that tacky souvenir.
On one trip to Venice I spent $16 for a Bellini in a very tine glass at Harry’s Bar, the place that created it and I had gelato at some of the most recommended places to do my own comparison.
In Japan we dedicated an entire day to the street food of Osaka.
In Hawaii I dragged everyone kicking and screaming to Haleakala @ 4am to see the sunrise. We’re still talking about that one today!
So matter your passion, curiosity or whim, do it like nobody’s watching!

"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page"
There are many women married and single who travel
alone. This number is increasing and
what I also find increasing is the image of the single female traveler
especially those from America and Europe.
Ultimately, safety is the number one priority for any traveler and more
so with a woman.
I’ve broached this
subject before but wanted to address it again with some more safety tips.
Common sense never goes out of style and is
sometimes your best source. While having
the same common sense you would have at home comes into play, you also have to
adapt to the local culture and know gender roles. Now is not the time to get on a soap box or
exercise your ideals.
It’s also imperative to have a cell phone with you. Either have your own cell phone and service
upgraded to include international service prior to departing or obtain a local
cell phone immediately upon arrival. Know
the local emergency number, how to dial it and store it in your phone.
Finally, know how to communicate “help” in
the local language. With these tips you’ll feel safe, prepared and able to
enjoy your trip.
