love this. i always travel with an ipad full of books. i do prefer physical, but can't beat the pros of quantity and portability of an e-reader for travel. I spent a month alone in Lisbon two years ago and loved every moment. my husband was walking the camino and i... wanted to live in lisbon and read. I so enjoyed it and just booked another solo trip to Mexico where I plan to read solo in a variety of places! love the idea of this series and to find a fellow solo travel reader
I spent a month alone in a small town in Italy in ‘22 and a month in Amsterdam & France in ‘23, I got weird responses for traveling solo for such a long time (as a mother, wife). I highly recommend (if one can). The release/pause from chores, responsibilities was worth every penny.
Porto is at the very tippy-top of my list of places to visit, so this right here is basically my dream. Saving for future reference and what a fantastic idea for a newsletter series! I have an upcoming trip to Oxford, Mississippi (where William Faulkner lived and worked)... and you have inspired me to remember to document my reading adventures there, too!

I love this so much! Alone time is as important for marrieds as it is for singles 🥳

Yes the bananas reactions I get! its 2024
‘where is your husband?’
‘oh i murdered him because he asked silly questions like you do’ 🤗
And who is taking care of the kid? His father! A fully capable man.
precisely 🥳🫶🏼
I’ve just returned home from Porto, so I loved this very much! What a good series, can’t wait for the next one 😊
Ooooooh Brittney - did I miss any good reading spots off the list?
love it, very inspiring post! i've contemplated traveling alone with a pile of books and this is a sign to book my tickets 😂
the best sign! let me know which city you choose as your first 🤗

Oh am so happy Petya! Everyone raves about Lisbon and I honestly prefer Porto - she’s smaller and felt immediately like a community to me 🫶🏼
and PS - I mentioned a wonderful post of yours in my monthly newsletter (coming out end of the week) that has changed the way I read so thank you! ❤️
what a great idea for a series. i love it!
thank you Jam!
