Solo traveling is not for everyone, but if you find yourself wanting to get out of your comfort zone and take a trip, fear no more!

Thinking of heading to the Capital City of Country Music? Nashville, TN offers so much to do for all ages to explore what this city has to offer. Of course, for me, it’s the country music genre that attracts me to this city. I have experienced this city on multiple occasions over the years. I recently did a multi-city tour in my Class A motorhome instead of the traditional ways that I travel via airline and hotel. Take a look at my other travel guides that I did on this tour.

I am familiar with each of these city stops and was able to take a tour of the beautiful hotels below or have stayed in previous trips. Most importantly, finding places that I thoroughly enjoyed eating out and visiting entertainment venues to offer you a well-rounded experience.

This two-and-a-half-week motorhome tour included the following: Tampa, Nashville, Little Rock and Dallas before heading back to my home city of Houston!

I recently had an opportunity to catch a flight to visit friends in St Croix, located in the United States Virgin Islands. The largest of the unincorporated territories of the United States, the island and the locals will sure welcome you with open arms! My mainstay was on the Island of St Croix, USVI. However, we did take the opportunity to catch a commuter plane over to St Thomas, USVI. We then took the ferry over to St John, USVI, which gave us a unique experience of seeing all three islands in one trip.

Virgin Voyages is a great cruise line for those wanting to travel in style with attention to details to enhance a person's cruising experience. The staff, restaurants, entertainment and ships' features are sure to dazzle all sailors onboard. Choosing this adults-only cruise line will not disappoint if you desire to have a relaxing vacation!

Welcome to my home town of Galveston, TX! I am delighted you have stopped by to visit my guide as I give you a little insight on this hidden Texas gem that my family has called home since 1890. My relatives were Irish immigrants who survived the 1900 Storm and wading through the waters with all 10 kids to higher grounds. You can walk around the island and see signs on homes that also have plaques to show they are "Survivors of the 1900 Storm." If you are ever finding yourself heading to the island for a vacation at the beach, visiting for one of the annual festivals throughout the year or taking a cruise out of the oldest port west of New Orleans, please reach out to me and let me know how I can help make your stay even more enjoyable. (Many Houstonians come to the island for a day at the beaches, or to visit The Strand for live music, entertainment and shopping.)

One of my favorite places in Mexico to visit is Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I have never had a bad experience when visiting and the locals are some of the nicest you will ever meet. A place that attracts people from all over the world to explore the beaches, shops and all the local cuisine. If you are looking for a place to relax and an atmosphere that is accepting of all people, then head to Puerto Vallarta for a wonderful travel experience. This guide focuses mostly on the Zona Romantica area of Puerto Vallarta.

You have probably heard of the reference ABC Islands, which include: Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao. This guide will take you on the journey through Aruba. A beautiful island located in the Caribbean Sea just off South America. The Island offers beautiful beaches, hotels, shops and most of all, a beautiful Aruban culture. At the time of writing this guide, Aruba is considered a safe place to visit.

Key West is the southernmost part of the United States, marked by a buoy that makes a great photo op. If you haven’t been or are looking to book a vacation to this beautiful island, then hopefully my guide will help you decide that it is time for you to book. I have visited Key West multiple times over the years and each time it never disappoints me. I do recommend at least four days on the island to have time to see things and get the island vibe. I would go more often if there were more direct flights from Houston, but I tend to find myself in Fort Lauderdale because of the ease of getting there and to the beach within hours of leaving my home.
