solo travel

You've got somewhere to go, but no one to go with; solo travel is the nexus of independence and opportunity.

A Philosophical Love Affair with Athens
It’s time for a travelling post. I am always so excited to write these, and this one is certainly no exception. A week ago I left Athens having seen innumerable historical/archaeological sites.

Me and My AI in Prague: A New Kind of Travel Companion
On Kampa Island in Prague, there are these beautiful benches with metal frames shaped like snakes or dragons — but they resemble the ouroboros more than anything else. I noticed them while resting under the green shade of the trees, a little spring bubbling behind me, and just a few meters away, a small stage where local children were singing. I couldn’t understand the lyrics — they were in Czech — but their voices were young and beautiful.

Journaling Across Continents: How My Pen Became My Passport
Before I ever boarded my first international flight, I packed my journal. Long before I knew what cities I’d explore or cultures I’d immerse myself in, I knew one thing for sure: I wanted to document the experience. Not for Instagram. Not for proof. Not even for memory’s sake, initially. I wanted to feel every moment deeply, and I knew the best way for me to do that was with a pen in my hand and a blank page waiting to be filled.

Traveling to Remember Who I Am
There was a time when my life looked perfectly fine on the outside—stable job, predictable days, familiar people. But inside, I felt like a ghost moving through a life that no longer reflected me. I didn’t recognize myself in the mirror, and I wasn’t sure when that started. All I knew was that something had to change.

Traveling Without Posting: An Internal Revolution
It was strange at first—standing at the edge of a cliff in Greece, surrounded by sky and sea, and not reaching for my phone.

When You Fall in Love with Places More Than People
I’ve always believed love comes in many forms. Romantic, platonic, familial—and then, something else. Something harder to name.

Gokyo Lake Trek Height – My First-Time Adventure Above the Clouds. AI-Generated.
The Gokyo Lake trek height was something I had only read about before, but standing at Gokyo Ri (5,357 meters), I finally understood the magic of the Himalayas. As a first-time trekker in this region, I felt both nervous and excited. I had heard that the Gokyo Lakes sit at around 4,700 to 5,000 meters, and honestly, I wondered if I could handle the height. But I did it, and it was one of the best moments of my life. According to Nepal Tourism Board, over 20,000 people hike in the Gokyo Valley every year, and now I see why.

What is the 3 Passes Trek on Mount Everest? A First-Time Journey I’ll Never Forget. AI-Generated.
I still remember the day I asked, “What is the 3 passes trek on Mount Everest?” I had done some short treks before, but this one sounded different. I found out that the Everest three pass trek is one of the hardest but most exciting treks in Nepal. It takes you through three high mountain passes—Kongma La (5,535m), Cho La (5,420m), and Renjo La (5,360m). These numbers sounded scary at first. But I decided to give it a try.
