UPDATED FEB 2020. When I was researching things to do, it seemed that Jeep tours in Aruba were quite popular. Though, as I was researching I found a few blogs that said they were a big waste of money. I decided to do one anyway to find out for myself. Are they a tourist trap or a memorable travel experience?…
UPDATED FEB 2020. Recently I had been going through a bit of a rough patch. I pushed through as far as I could, but things just kept piling up. Eventually, the stress caught up to me and I knew I needed to take a break. The destination was Aruba and the schedule was a whole lot of nothing. I was…
Playing catch up this week and sharing the review for my February plastic free-ish swap which was switching to washable paper towels. I had posted my video to YouTube a couple of weeks ago, but here is the written review for anyone who prefers blog posts to videos. Here’s a little about the washable ‘unpaper’ towels I chose, the pros,…
UPDATED FEB 2020. Honestly, this is probably one of the trickiest things to do as a solo female traveler. Especially if your hotel is not close to the beach where walking back and forth is convenient. What are you meant to do with your stuff? Today I’m sharing tips on how to keep your valuables safe at the beach as…
UPDATED FEB 2020. There is no shortage of travel advice out there so I thought I could go through some of the bad travel advice that you should probably just ignore. I wish I could add the frog and tea emojis (if you know your memes, then you get that). For now, though, a pic of me holding tea as…
Look, I’ll be honest. I heard about people using essential oils but I didn’t really get the hype. I thought it was just a fad for crunchy mums or something, like ‘here little Timmy, 4 drops of this should help your Measles’. I didn’t even realize I was using them myself – I clean my floors with Eucalyptus (try it…
UPDATED MAR 2020. Recently I’ve been having some downtime from travel and I’ve been working on updating old posts. It also got me started on looking for areas of my blog where I could offer more information or guides. When I looked through my Portugal posts, I realized that I hadn’t offered a bigger picture guide for solo female travel…
UPDATED MAR 2020. If you have been following along for a little while, you probably already know that I love northern Norway. But, I realized that I hadn’t really posted much about what to do if you visit there. Today I’m sharing one of the things that I think is a must-do when you stay at the cabin which is taking a trip…
Welcome back to my 2019 Plastic Free-ish challenge. It’s funny when I made the original post, I was just sharing my goal for the year and I didn’t really think many people would be interested in it. I had no plans to make any more posts on it until the end of the year when I would say ‘mission complete’…
UPDATED FEB 2020. When you travel to a conservative country, it’s important to take a few more considerations when it comes to what you wear. It’s a way to show respect for the culture you are visiting as well as limit negative attention. In my experience, if you make an effort to show respect, you are likely to have a…
