Solo Traveler Blog Post

I'm really honored that I got asked to write a guest post for Janice Waugh's Solo Traveler blog. In my opinion, she's the guru of solo travel, and her site is an incredible resource. You can check out Solo Traveler at:

www.solotravelerblog.com

My post is about my very first trip to Germany. It wasn't supposed to be a solo adventure, but it ended up that way. I spent a lot of that three month excursion outside of my comfort zone, and it was hard, but in the end I found my authentic voice, and I had lots of fun. Thank goodness for German beer, bread and cheese, and Swiss chocolate. They saved me. Ha! 

I'm enjoying the comments people are leaving in response to my post, and I'm also excited that the post got re-tweeted a lot!

In partnership with Janice and Solo Traveler, I've agreed to be the City Host for the Fort Collins, Colorado area. This means I'll organize 1-2 meetings a year, as an opportunity for solo travelers to meet face-to-face and exchange ideas and advice. If you'd like to be involved, feel free to email me at clvisint@yahoo.com. You don't have to be a seasoned solo traveler. Newbies are welcome and encouraged.

Get out there! It's good.

Now,I must continue packing for my trip to Flagstaff...
