As a female traveler who lived in Morocco for 3 years, I often get asked about how I felt travelling around Morocco as a solo traveler often. Thankfully, I can say I was very blessed to few bad or scary moments in my time living alone in Morocco.

Travel Insurance worth buying to save you!

Like many budget-conscious travelers, I'm always hesitant about adding on the "extras" when planning a trip like travel insurance. Not only do these optional upgrades and fees add up, but I'm just naturally skeptical of being sold something that I "need," yet wasn't included in the purchase price.

The most beautiful city in the world, Venice

For me Venice was a city I always heard was a must visit in Italy, but never doing research or actually knowing what it offered I went blindly and added it to my month journey in Italy. When I arrived I didn’t know what to expect but left wanting to return, and knowing this was by far a city of history and so much ancient beauty that each passage within this labyrinth had a story to tell.

The Retreat Costa Rica, Simply Breathe

Costa Rica is one of the most vibrant, eco-friendly, and open minded cultures there is around the world. It’s surrounded by rainforests and natural experiences like visits to the Arenal Volcano, with hanging bridges, giant waterfall and thermal mineral pools. On our last journey we found a place to call home at “The Retreat” located on a crystal-quartz mountain for a world-class nature inspired, holistic healing oasis immersed in the natural beauty of Costa Rica. Soaking up the luxury of relaxation, The Retreat offers spectacular views of the Nicoya Peninsula and the Pacific Ocean. Each of my senses were heightened as I woke up to a turquoise view of my room floating among the clouds as the sun rises in the east.
