This Battered Suitcase

Italy is such a romantic place, isn’t it? For years, I dreamed of exploring the Ligurian Coast, of seeing the little villages of Camogli, Nervi, and Portofino… so last week, I went there, all on my own. I don’t wait around for someone to join me – I never have, and never will. Italy is indeed romantic, but there’s nothing stopping you from enjoying all that romance by yourself. I’m going into my 11th year of solo travel… who else travels on their own? ✈️🙋
