About me

I'm Carol, a high school engineering teacher, part-time college instructor, and solo traveler originally from Brazil. For over 10 years, I've been exploring the world on my own terms, from the temples of Tokyo to the rooftops of Lisbon.

On a regular week, I am busy with lesson planning, teaching, managing my one-person household, and planning my next trip.

I built this blog to share the honest, practical stories that I wish I'd had before my first solo trip. If you're a woman who loves to wander, or wants to, you're in the right place.
