27. Sagittarius. Passport always in my bag, plans always optional. I go where the water is blue and the pace is slow. Follow along.

I traded a lease for a one-way ticket.

Three years ago I had an apartment, a routine, and a feeling that I was watching my life from the wrong seat. I quit, booked a flight to Lisbon, and never quite made it back.

I'm not a travel blogger chasing sponsored hotel stays. I find the places that make me feel something — the beach bars at the end of dirt roads, the sunrise swims before the tourists wake up — and I share what it actually feels like to be there.

Solo travel isn't lonely. It's the most present I've ever been.
