Oh Hello There!
Welcome to My Travel Blog!
I’m a small town girl turned solo world traveler. Realizing the world-traveler lifestyle I always wanted could be a reality set me on a mission to inspire others and redefine the American Dream. I love empowering women to go after their dream life, despite how “unconventional” it may be.
My travel niche is somewhat of a hybrid between aesthetic travel and solo travel. But what exactly does that mean? I’ll explain ⬇️

The Aesthetics
“Aesthetic” is my favorite word in the English language. I believe the aesthetic of a place can be presented in many ways, whether it’s through architecture, food, fashion, or the overall landscape.

Featuring: Gigi Pip Hats
A hat is one of the best accessories and the ultimate statement piece. Everywhere I go, I get compliments on my hats. I am a #HatGirl to my core!
I fell in love with Gigi Pip hats ever since my very first one (pictured here!). I love that they are well made and come in a wide range of styles. Gigi Pip also has a variety of interchangeable decorative hat bands, so you can switch up the look of your hat.

Oh hello! I’m Gina.
I’m a small town girl turned solo world traveler.
One of my favorite things about solo travel is knowing that I have experiences, encounters, and stories that are unlike anyone else’s in the world. Traveling alone has a certain je ne sais quois that made me fall in love with having an experience that was solely mine.
As an aesthetic traveler, I incorporate visual elements into my content in order to tell a story and inspire my readers. As you explore my blog posts, you’ll find a lot of carefully-thought out photos, some containing me as the subject, that I use to paint a distinct narrative.
If nothing else, I hope to inspire you as a girl who grew up in small-town West Virginia and became the girl who learned how to navigate the world on her own. I hope you always remember that the only limits you have are the ones you place on yourself.
