Loni James

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 shifting into a library of adventures, 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. Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss any new projects or upcoming limited releases. Thanks for following along!

And so it begins. First stop, London!

Connecting with a local during my first few days in a new place can completely change how the rest of my time goes, from getting recommendations to the opportunity for a second or third date depending on how strong the connection.

And so it begins. First stop, London!
