I draw my power from the sea. 🌊 One of the coolest nights out I've ever had while solo travelling was going to a psychedelic music festival on a hippie commune in Denmark. 🎸🤘🎶 In my mind, I'm here. I finally made it to Edinburgh Street Food Festival! 🍕🥘🌮🧁 Don't forget to stop and see the gnomes... Life Abroad Achievement Unlocked: Ordering food in a foreign language! ✅️ Magic is real. Most solo travellers are pretty confident figuring what what do do with themselves during the day. 🌞 That thing you're doing now that you think you're not good enough at?
