Hi, I’m Christie!
solo traveler & portugal enthusiast
I’m so happy you are here! Since February 2022, I have split my time between the US and Portugal, a place that has had my heart since 2016. If you are looking for some travel inspiration & the encouragement to go it alone, you are in the right place.
I love sharing my travel experiences and what I’ve learned as a solo female traveler, and my goal is to inspire others to NOT WAIT. I am single, child-free and entering “midlife” (even though I still feel like I’m 29!).
If you think you have to wait on a partner, friends or even retirement to see the world, I hope I can convince you otherwise. I am here to offer my best tips, itineraries, bucket list experiences, and money saving travel tricks. Cheers to new adventures!
