What does a person do when they have no job, no real place to live, and no idea what they are doing with their life? The answer to that is travel. A road trip for mental health is my solution. I have always believed that traveling is a great palette cleanser. It ushers in big changes with a fresh perspective. At all the biggest moments in my life there has been a change of scenery.
This was included moving to a new town for college, going to Europe before joining the Navy, or a road trip after being separated from the Navy. My life always comes back to traveling. In the moments where I travel the country or travel the world I explore not only new geography but also new parts of myself. So that is why I plan to travel now. My life in almost all ways is falling apart. To keep myself out of the steep decline into depression I am going to travel.
where we start
We start in Maine which is state number 41 for me and where I end up I have no idea but I am fairly certain it will be a step up from having no job, no place of my own, and no idea what the hell I am going to do to remedy my situation. If this blog falls apart I am just going to blame my friend that talked me into starting it in the first place. #optimism #travelingblackspinster
I am hoping that this blog is a healing and informative journey for me and others. I don’t know everything but I do know a lot about travel and want to share. There are tips for safety, finding cheaper flights, and destination ideas. While this is geared towards single female travel I am hoping it is relatable to all women.
