Sold my belongings to travel the world!!

Traveled 20 countries over six years after my daughter left for college. Fell in love with Guatemala!

2025/3/21 Edited to

Traveling the world is not just about the destinations; it's about the experiences and personal growth. After my daughter left for college, I felt a surge of freedom to explore. Over six years, I traveled to 20 countries, immersing myself in diverse cultures. One of my most cherished adventures was in Guatemala, known for its stunning landscapes, rich history, and vibrant local markets. Guatemala is a gem in Central America, offering breathtaking volcanoes, beautiful lakes, and colorful towns like Antigua and Lake Atitlán. The warmth of the local people and the country's artistic heritage greatly impacted me. Moreover, traveling solo as a woman can be empowering and liberating, opening doors to new friendships. For anyone inspired to take the leap into travel, I encourage you to embrace your passion. Plan group trips for women like the ones I've created to foster connection and shared experiences. Remember, the world is vast, and your next adventure awaits!
