When my friend bailed on our Paris trip, I went anyway—and accidentally discovered how awesome solo travel is. No more waiting for anyone to be free, no more compromising on plans. I can wander museums alone, eat wherever I want, and even make a fool of myself speaking rusty French. Sure, there are hiccups (food poisoning in Montreal, anyone?), but the freedom is unbeatable. Now, solo trips are my thing, and honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way! #SoloTravel #TravelStories #Independence #Travel
