From A to Z, what are the characteristics of a solo travel girl? This gallivanting diva is unique, underestimated and ultra-cool!
Unique – Don’t lump all solo travel girls into one category. Just because they’re comfortable traveling alone, not lonely, they come in all shapes, sizes, colors, backgrounds and experiences, making every single one of them unique.
Underestimated –She may be an army of one but the STG is capable of moving mountains, in addition to climbing them. She’s often underestimated so don’t tell her she can’t do something because she’ll find a way to do it.
Ultra-Cool –She’s a magnet for attention and the life of the party. She’s comfortable in her own skin and carves her own path when traversing the globe. This adventurous chica just isn’t cool, she’s ultra-cool.

Driving through Western Pennsylvania’s rolling farmland, I held back tears thinking of the afternoon’s destination, the Flight 93 National Memorial. Almost 20 years later, the thoughts of the tragic events of September 11, 2001, still trigger deep emotions.
