Hi everyone, I am so glad you are here! One Girl Travel began as an idea several years ago… I always had this small flame inside of me that knew what I wanted to contribute to the world, but not until recently thanks to a life-changing trip to Paris, did I realize that flame has […]

When you travel alone, it is more than likely strangers will ask you “who are you traveling with?” I’ve gotten so many different responses when I reveal that I am traveling by myself. One response that I received was “I’m sorry.” That one really threw me off. You are sorry for asking me who I’m […]

What’s the best way to explore a new city when you are by yourself? Walk it out… (or run if you feel so inclined.) This fall I traveled to Charleston,SC for my friends wedding. I purposely arrived one day before most of my friends so I could spend some time exploring on my own. One […]

When I first heard about Flodesk, I thought it was just pretty and another “aesthetic” tool, the kind that looks nice on the surface but doesn’t really offer anything substantial under the hood.
