Who Am I?
Widow, Wanderer, Overpacker
Welcome to my little corner of the world—I'm so glad you're here! My name is Tiffany, and while I’ve had my share of travel adventures, solo travel is a new chapter for me. I’m a widow and empty nester, someone who’s fiercely independent, admittedly a bit socially awkward, and often introverted. But my heart is full of curiosity, a love for discovering new places, and an appreciation for cultural diversity and beautiful landscapes. Whether I’m wandering through vibrant cities or soaking up the peace of a sun-drenched beach, I try to greet every new experience with open arms and a sense of wonder.
I lost my husband during the early stages of the pandemic, and for a while, I felt lost and unsure of what the future held. Our dreams and plans shifted overnight, and the idea of traveling on my own felt daunting (and honestly, it still does sometimes). But when my youngest went off to college, I found a spark of determination to rediscover who I am and pursue my dream of seeing the world. Along the way, I’ve learned that travel can be an incredible source of healing, growth, and joyful new beginnings. With a gentle nudge from my daughter, I started this blog to share my journey and hopefully encourage others to embrace the beauty of exploration—even when life takes you down unexpected paths.
