A birthday, mostly by myself
An Airbnb five minutes from the Eiffel Tower, a bakery class, a self-booked photoshoot in the rain. Proof you can plan a dream trip around a date on a calendar — and that it's okay if parts of it feel lonely too.
My story
A few stops
A few stops
along the way.
Three trips, three things I learned about travelling — and being — alone.
When the plan falls through
A skydive cancelled by weather, on my birthday again. What I did instead — and the friend I'm still in touch with because of it.
The trip that started it
Booked on a one-way ticket, nobody asked for a return. Often the easiest first country for a solo trip, and where a lot of this began.
