From A to Z, what are the characteristics of a solo travel girl? This jubilant lady is jovial, jazzy and jolly.

Jovial – When the solo travel girl is around, expect that frown to be turned upside down by her sugar-coated happiness and buckets of bad knock-knock jokes. She quickly learned although she may not speak a specific language she can still communicate through the international language of laughter.

Jazzy – Occasionally this gem of a gal will show off her jazz hands prior to showing off her lively, bright and sparkly personality on the dance floor. Like laughter, dance is another unspoken language to communicate and understand a culture.

Jolly – Yo! Ho! Yo! Ho! In addition to turning frowns upside down being around the STG is almost always guaranteed to cause a jolly, belly laugh. As much as she enjoys making others laugh and lift their spirits, she doesn’t take herself too seriously. She frequently finds herself laughing from her own travel hiccups, such as rolling down the side of Mount Fuji in an attempt to ski but looked more like a bowing chicken.
