Before I ever traveled solo, I was my dad's naviga Before I ever traveled solo, I was my dad's navigator. 🗺️ Years later, that little girl found herself standing in Paris, almost in disbelief that she was actually there. And that was just the beginning! From carefully planned trips to unexpected detours, I've experienced some incredible adventures. Along the way, I've learned that travel isn't just about the places you visit. Sometimes it's about the different versions of yourself you meet along the way. There were a few years when the joy I found in traveling didn't feel quite the same. Then came Florence. A little photo booth. Four photographs. And a reminder of just how much I love seeing myself genuinely free and happy. So, hi! I'm Christa, the woman behind FlyandSolo. ❤️ I'm no longer willing to be a passive participant in my own happiness. I'm demanding it back. I've shared more about my journey in my new blog post, Before I Traveled Solo, I Was the Navigator. Read the full story at theflyandsolo.com (link in bio). I'm so excited to share my adventures with you. Come along. I've got so much more to show you. ✈️❤️ #FlyandSolo #TravelStories #SoloTravel #TravelBlogger
