I have been traveling alone for over a month now. When I started this journey I first landed in Los Angeles. I was offered an internship, but that didn't work out. So I stayed in LA and explored the area. Going to yoga classes daily, traveling all along the coast and hanging out with friends. During my time in LA, I escaped to Yosemite National Park for a week! And boy, oh boy, Yosemite is one special place. Once my time in LA was over, I headed west to Seward, Alaska. In Seward, I have been staying with my childhood friend and exploring this magical small town. I have seen bears, killer whales, glaciers and so much more. I have learned so much by being on my own. So here are six things I have learned on my solo travels!
