Hi so I am pretty new to the idea of traveling. I did a bit when I was younger, like 18 and then I never traveled again. ( I have been to the East coast of the US) Now I am older, changing focus and would like to learn more about how to travel. 

My goal is to go to Italy and maybe do those single traveler groups to do it.

I was thinking maybe I should travel in the US first but I feel if you go with a group I could just do the Italy trip. Advice is welcomed. I would love to see all of Europe eventually but that takes time and money, still young enough to meet that type of goal though. Rome and London are two places I have wanted to see but have been told are very expensive/ not a good place to go. Like to see Hawaii but one of the smaller ones since Hawaii they said is very over populated and not great to vacation at but the smaller islands are.

Since I am single and really don’t have traveling friends. I like to learn the do’s and don’t of traveling.

• Websites, blogs
• time of year
• locations to check out when traveling
• Where to read up about someone's culture- don't want to insult anyone when I travel.

I love to photograph things and went to school for it but really only use it for personal use now. I do want to travel in a group so that way I am not traveling just by myself or with a bunch of couples. I may make a friend on the trip. Maybe one day when I get good at it, I could book something to do on my own but right now I want a group.

• I know people say cruse ships but they have had such bad reviews that I kind of want to stay away from a cruise.

Time frame would be at least a year but looking at site and what the prices are will give me an idea of how much to save and the hidden fee stuff that’s out there.

More about me:

• I am single
• Don’t smoke anything
• Not much of a drinker maybe one a year/special occasion- never been drunk.
• Monogamous
• Never had kids and don’t want them ( I don’t mind children just never happened for me)

I play video games:

• Stardew valley
• City Skyline
• Elder Scrolls online
• Fallout 76
• Dave the diver
• Hogwarts Legacy

So I like the task type video games with a bit of murder mixed in. I do like the RBG older looking games. Some games I get dizzy when I play them so I have to build up to it or take motion sickness pills.

Hobbie

I am a crafter and love making things but have been slowly stepping away from it. I gave my life to it for a long time and now I am like, I don’t want to give all my money to making things for other people all the time. I would rather save it and do some traveling, experience a few things while I am still able to do so. I still do crafting but narrowing it down a lot and just getting rid of a lot of it.

Movies:

Old B 80’s movie horror and sci-fi is my go to for watching things when I do. Tubi has a lot of those type movies and so I spend time watching them.

I also enjoy watching historical stuff like mystery at the museum, Egyptian Pyramid discoveries, and some true crime stuff.

Relationship/Expectation:

I was in one a few months ago. It didn’t end badly ( so no ex drama) and he is no longer in my life. He was good to me but life for him got in the way. Just part of life moving forward now and see who I will meet this time.

Long distance

I plan to just chat with you, I do believe in relationships but long distance relationships do not work. I have tried a few different times over the years and found we never actually meet in person or life gets in the way that makes it impossible to keep meeting each other. So just being real with you and have 0 expectation of ever actually meeting you in person.

So it doesn’t matter where your located but I am on the West coast of the US,  time zones could be an issue for you. Then don’t write to me. If you text I do try to get back to you within the same day or the next day. Mainly looking for a friendship at this point and if it develops into more great and if not I have a good friend to chat with.

Cheaters stay away:

I don’t believe in cheating so if you have someone you need to be clear about that when you write to me. I won't flirt with a married guy or a guy who is in a long term relationship. I am not into poly relationships and I am a straight monogamous woman. Why I am still single in my area I live is all about hook ups and being poly. Men tend to also be very introverted and lazy in my area too. I don't mind being home but all the time no. I am extroverted and introverted. I dislike large crowds of people and like more quite moments with someone. I love to talk....warning you now.

• If you just want to give me traveling advice I am so for it and we go our separate ways.

Discord

I do have a Discord and if we become good friends I would give it out. I can exchange photos as well. I also don’t mind playing a group game with you online either and quite enjoy playing online games with someone else.
