Here’s exactly what I would change if I became a digital nomad today. I’d sell all my things first Or at least most of…
It’s no secret that Austin, Texas is home to the weird. Just spend a Sunday at Chicken Shit Bingo, and you’ll see what I mean. Well, Cathedral of Junk is another oddity that feels right at home in Austin. It’s a structure you can walk through, and it’s made entirely of…well, junk. It’s actually in…
Updated June 23, 2026 It’s no secret that New Orleans is home to some of the best food and drink in the world. And the best part is, you don’t have to break the bank to enjoy it. I mean, you could if you wanted, but you don’t have to! As someone who’s spent over…

Updated 4/18/2026 The French Quarter is one of the most walkable neighborhoods in New Orleans, but not every street offers the same experience. Some streets are perfect for live music and nightlife, others are better for quiet wandering, and a few are worth skipping entirely depending on your travel style. The French Quarter is also…
Ahh, the Big Easy. I’ve been a digital nomad for over 3 years now, and I’ve been in New Orleans for the last year plus. If you’re looking for a lively, warm-weather spot in the U.S. to stay awhile, you might want to call Nola home. Here’s why I’ve stayed so long. This post contains…
Looking for the best winter destinations in the U.S.? Whether you want snowy mountain towns that would make Santa jealous, mild-weather cities, or warm beach escapes where you can relax with a drink in your hand, there are incredible places to visit across the country in winter. I’ve wintered all over the U.S. with my…
I spent a few days in Charleston, SC, during my solo road trip from Asheville, NC, to the Florida Keys and fell in love with its charm. I walked with my dog along the cobblestone streets, met friendly people, and saw iconic, historic sights (including some realllly old buildings). Charleston is a great solo destination,…
Updated April 8, 2026 I spent over a month living solo in L.A. as a digital nomad and kept myself entertained with nature hikes, beaches, amazing nightlife, famous landmarks, and cool offbeat spots. Personally, I loved L.A. I know some people say it’s plastic and fake, and maybe it is, but I wasn’t out there…

Updated May 9, 2026 One of the best things about New Orleans is that the iconic things that make the city unique–think jazz, architecture, and culture–don’t cost money. Wherever you go, you’re likely to see parades, street performers, second lines, interesting buildings, or fascinating people watching. As a digital nomad, I’ve stayed in New Orleans…
Updated 8/29/2026 New Orleans might be famous for its wild party scene, but it’s also one of the best U.S. cities to explore solo. I would know–I first visited solo years ago and ended up moving there. I’ve done pretty much all the things there are to do alone in New Orleans, including exploring the…
Updated 11/10/2025 Red Mountain #3, a.k.a. Colorado’s Rainbow Mountain, was a hike I’ll never forget for many reasons. Breathtaking views, cool mining ruins, and though you’d never know it from the photo above, one of the most gut-wrenching hours of my life. My dog Elgie and I did this hike on a random Monday in…
Ahhh… “Dirty Myrtle.” Generally thought of as a party or family destination, Myrtle Beach has plenty to offer solo travelers, too. It’s the perfect easy weekend beach getaway, and it’s affordable, especially during the off-season. I’ve written before about traveling solo to traditionally “family” or couples’ destinations, and honestly, it’s not that weird. I didn’t…
Oh, the Florida Keys…what a wonderful, weird place! Though Key West gets most of the attention, Islamorada, Florida is well worth visiting.
