step right up
come one, come all
Howdy, folks! I’m Natalie, the ringmaster around here. I’m a solo female traveler and digital nomad exploring the U.S. with my dog, Elgie. Oh, and I’m an introvert!
This blog is for adventurous introverts who wonder if the whole “travel thing” is right for them. Introverts who love adventure and want to become digital nomads or solo travelers. These same folks avoid the overcrowded spots and instead wonder, what’s something different to do here?
I’ll share my juicy travel stories and challenges I’ve faced on the road as an introverted digital nomad–everything from housing to dating. Plus solo travel advice, digital nomad tips, and the rundown on places I’ve been. Allll with sense of humor, of course!
the dog
meet Elgie
Elgie, a.k.a. L.G. (Little Guy), is a 12-year-old lab/corgi mix who loves swimming, chasing balls, and hiking with his mommy. He barks at every noise he hears outside and hasn’t met a cat or a sprinkler he didn’t like. He loves car rides and is used to his mom packing him all over creation.

why i started a blog
My goal is to help curious folks considering solo travel or the digital nomad life who are feeling anxious, afraid, or doubtful to go ahead and take that trip–especially the introverted folks! I aim to do that by providing solo travel tips and tricks, destination guides, and my own travel stories as an introverted digital nomad.
Think of me as your solo traveling guide who brought her pup along (and way too many other things). I seek out my own adventure, and in the process, give you ideas and advice for your next adventure.
Nothing will be left out! I didn’t intend for this to be a highlight reel. I’ll share the challenges I’ve faced, what’s worked and hasn’t worked (including some really cringy stories), and everything else. If nothing else, maybe you’ll learn what not to do by watching me!
To get a better sense of how things operate around here, I’ll give you a few examples of what you won’t find on this blog:
❌ Top 10 Instagram-worthy spots in (insert city name here)
❌ 10 amazing brunch spots in (insert city)
Don’t get me wrong–I love brunch (and taking photos)! But I don’t want to write about it.
Here’s what you can expect to find instead:
✅ How Chicken Shit Bingo changed my life 🐔
✅ Best bars for reading (and being left alone) in NYC
Still interested? Good! Stick around then, you’re gonna love it!
