I'm a huge proponent of the solo vacation. Travel in general is important because it expands your mind and worldview, but traveling alone teaches you so much about yourself. (Make safe choices about where and how you travel, of course!) Our listener Sydney feels the same way, and has started a great blog to help us all in improve as travelers. Sydney believes that everyone should travel, regardless of salary, experience, or living situation! In Home and a Broad, she gives tips on packing your carry-on, how to have the perfect weekend getaway and, my favorite, how not to be the worst person at the airport. Check it out, and happy travels!
