As a US Navy submarine veteran, I’ve embarked on thrilling adventures across the globe. My heart belongs to Hawaii, where I’ve resided for over 25 years — immersing myself in the lush landscapes, vibrant culture and warm hospitality. From the volcanic wonders of the Big Island to the serene beaches of Maui, I’ve explored every nook and cranny. But my wanderlust extends beyond the Pacific; Tokyo, Japan, welcomed me for 2 unforgettable years. The bustling streets of Shibuya, the tranquil temples of Kyoto and the exquisite sushi joints — I’ve savored it all. Solo travel, for me, is about embracing the unknown, connecting with fellow explorers and creating memories that last a lifetime. It’s like dancing alone at a global party — sometimes awkward, often exhilarating and always worth it.
