Solo female travel: Tips from the podcast
Women hitting the road alone! At Going Out Your Door, solo travel is the ultimate freedom. You can do whatever you want when you want to, the trip itinerary is up to you (and you can chuck it out the window if you want!), and you don't have to take anyone else's preferences into consideration. …
Day trip: Petra
When I started looking for destinations that would make convenient half-day trips to make use of my free mornings, Petra, the first stop on the train that runs from Manacor, was obviously on my list, in large part because of its proximity. It's an attractive yet sleepy little town without a whole lot in terms …

Back to Europe: Spain Edition
It's frustrating that as humans we can't just consistently want or feel something for an extended period of time (or dare I say, for our whole life?). I mean, I know that's the beauty of life, that we can change our minds and grow as people, but sometimes I wish my desires could remain consistent! …
Warsaw and Vienna
Directional signs pointing to international cities are one of my favorite things, especially as the list of the cities that I've been to keep growing. Warsaw was a surprise stop, chosen mainly for its convenient proximity between Vilnius and Vienna. However, it turned out to be one of my favorite cities. Let's be honest, for most …
