Hi, I’m Debbie Bender. After 30 year of travel with my husband and best travel buddy I lost him in 2023. Travel is what we loved and it is my way forward through the grieving process. I’m continuing the blog as a solo traveler focusing on active independent travel. Areas of interest include hiking, diving, photography, safari, road trips, restaurants, language immersion and whatever else I find. I hope you’ll join me on the adventure.
