Always ask "why not" and let your experiences re-define you.
Hello readers 😊
I'm Elizabeth, a soon to be 26 year old American student in China. I've lived abroad before for almost four years (in Germany) and traveled extensively in Europe during that time.
After about three years back in the States, I'm happy to have returned to the international community and to have the chance to explore another part of the world.
While I started this blog as a way to keep my friends and family (now scattered around the world) apprised of my travels and experiences, I have been delighted to find some strangers are reading as well. I welcome questions, comments, and concerns from anyone planning trips to areas I've visited or who might just be curious about the places.
World travel is my passion, and I love to share information, ideas, and experiences about it. I get asked most frequently about solo-female-traveler concerns, and I am happy to share what I know and experienced to help keep my fellow 'SFTs' (along with everyone else) informed and prepared.
Generally, speaking, I've found a little preparation and common sense, along with open-mindedness, goes a long way. And people will often surprise you 😉
