Stop Dreaming and Do it: All of my adventures below, I am hoping to give you the “Can Do” attitude to do it as well. In the last decade I have experienced so many wonderful places on this Earth, I want to share and motivate you to see the world and its people. Break out of the box and live your best life.

St. Louis is an amazing spot to vacation. There is so much to do, and it's easy to get around. My two best friends and I took a trip from KC to STL with our kids. We are three teachers in our early 30s and our 5 kids range from 11 months old to 7 years old. The following lists contain exactly what we did and tips and tricks we discovered along the way!

I visited Portugal in May, and it's a charming place. I'd recommend going in April, May, September, or October for milder weather and fewer crowds. Portugal is budget-friendly; we used Uber everywhere in Porto and Lisbon, which was cheaper than taking taxis. Some taxis only take cash, so be sure to check with the driver before getting in. We took the comfortable train ride from Porto to Lisbon and scored discounts by buying tickets in advance. Inform your bank about your travel plans; I did not do it and could only withdraw cash in Lisbon but not Porto. Many attractions are crowded, so consider tour options to skip the lines if time is important for you. Bring comfortable shoes!! Lots of walking on cobblestone streets and Lisbon is hilly.

My emergency travel kit essentials - the ever evolving list based on the emergencies you might have when on the go. Use this list as a base, and add it anything else necessary.I like to pack a little big of everything, and when inevitably someone in my party needs something, I have it, ready to go. Because having to stop for any little thing gets tiring pretty fast in my opinion, especially in a foreign country. I'd much rather stop to take in the sights and try some good food, and not run around the city because someone all of a sudden has a headache and we don't know any of the medication brands in the country.

3 years of solo travel through Latin America taught me what actually matters in a bag. These are my real, tried and tested must haves for travelling the world on your own as a woman. Travelling solo through Latin America as a woman means you learn pretty quickly what makes you feel secure and what just adds unnecessary stress. From navigating busy markets in Colombia to taking overnight buses through Peru, I've been in enough situations to know that the right gear genuinely changes your experience. These aren't just products I've seen recommended online, they're things I've personally relied on when I was the only person looking out for myself. Comfort matters just as much as safety, especially when you're spending long stretches of time in hostels, on buses or in places where you can't always predict what you're walking into. The small things add up fast, whether that's finally getting a decent night of sleep in a noisy dorm or not having to stress about your bag in a crowded street. Solo travel as a woman is one of the most rewarding things you can do and having the right tools with you just means you can focus on the experience instead of the anxiety around it.
