How I’ve Been Prioritizing Self Care in Quarantine [Girls Go Abroad Episode 014]
This week on the Girls Go Abroad podcast, I’m talking all about how I’ve been prioritizing self-care while in quarantine. Now, self-care is always important, but while we’re currently in the midst of a global pandemic and are adapting to yes, unprecedented times, self-care is more important than ever. Flight attendants say it best when they say you should put your own face mask on first before helping others.

I’m in a long-term, committed relationship and I travel solo. Here’s why.

So today I just wanted to talk a little bit about why I travel solo, even though I’m in a long term relationship. Daniel and I have been dating for almost 4 years now, and we absolutely love traveling together! BUT, I also travel solo quite a bit. Why? Because I love it.
