I'm Loni, a traveler, writer and storyteller. I quit my job to travel the world full-time with plans to go on a date in every country.
I've climbed mountains, endured more than my fair share of awkward dates, reveled in some romance and seen the world. This blog started as a collection of my dating stories but is swiftly collecting resources and recommendations to help other travelers feel more confident.
I'm typically in a far corner of the world, collecting more stories, creating and/or trying something new and working on a book about all of my adventures. Please subscribe so you don't miss anything. Thanks for following along.
