A solo-ish travel blog

About the blog

Hi! I’m Carly.

I put off traveling for the longest time because I didn’t have a dedicated travel buddy. (And let’s be honest, traveling with anyone as an adult requires the stars and schedules to align, which is near impossible.)

In 2023, I set out to see the world on my own. This blog chronicles how I’m navigating the world as a solo traveler (who also happens to be vegan). From Bangkok to Europe and everywhere in between, I’m sharing tour reviews, tips and vegan food finds.
