Recently, I’ve been hearing a lot of racket about solo vacations and traveling alone. I used to think this was a crazy idea. Yea….no. A trip alone sounded beyond boring….actually downright anxiety-provoking in some aspects. What the heck would I do by myself on a vacation? Not interested. But also me…. FOMO (fear of missing…
