But once you go, it changes everything — you’ll fall in love with the freedom, the confidence, and the version of you that shows up when you’re on your own 🌍✈️

🌏 based on my own backpacking experiences, these are my favorite countries for a first solo trip!

All of these destinations are great for meeting people, joining group adventures, and creating unforgettable memories. Whether you’re into beaches, nature, road trips, diving, surfing, or culture, there’s something for everyone ✨

Which country would you choose first?👇🏽

emotionally attached, mentally still there...take me where it feels like that again🥹💛🌏

if you found my account and you’re wondering what I’m doing here… I don’t really know either😅

still figuring it out somewhere between missing the freedom of solo backpacking and learning how to be back home again.

a part of me is still somewhere out there — chasing sunsets, meeting strangers who become friends, and living out of a backpack🌟

but for now, I’m here. working, dreaming, planning, and finding out what’s next.

if you ever have questions about solo traveling, the places I’ve been, or anything travel related — feel free to ask💖 I’ll always share what I know ✈️

Coming home has been its own adventure🥹🌏😭🏡

These past two months have reminded me to appreciate the people around me and that growth doesn’t stop just because the trip ends.

I’m still figuring out what’s next—and for the first time in a while, I’m okay with not having all the answers.

But please don’t ask me what’s next😂
Thanks, love you guys, bye.
xoxo

coming home is so much harder than leaving…🌏🥺

little reminder: honestly quitting your job and leaving home is easier than you think. just do it — maybe it works out 🫶🏼

This peaceful temple is called Katsuoji Temple and is known as the “Temple of Victory” ⛩️ It’s famous for its thousands of Daruma dolls, symbols of luck and success.

📍 About 30–40 minutes from Osaka by public transport
🚆 Take the train to Minoh-Kayano Station, then hop on the “Katsuoji” bus directly to the temple
💳 Make sure you have enough money on your Suica/public transport card — there isn’t always a good signal on the hill, so topping up online may not work
🎟️ Entrance fee applies (check current prices before visiting)
