I never fully examined why I preferred road trips in the solo manner... it never occurred to me. I assume it's because I have simply always traveled alone, even as a teenager...when I traveled France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Netherlands...and more...I was 14...on a motorcycle, and alone. I have friends who also have said such things about coming with me, but when the time comes to do it...they back off, unable to be so "alone". I never once figured they would take the trip w/me... mainly because I rarely plan...I just point a wheel and land somewhere.... Road trips are for discovering...and those of us who have discovered that we are only touching the tip of the ice burg when it comes to the discovery of our own being...of our awakening are the lucky ones...because each time I travel alone...I am discovering another part of myself that grew while I was "sleep walking" back home. Now that I've thought it over...I guess that's the reason for solo travel for me... I grow every time I do it! Tammy, road trips for me have always been about “solo”.

I am on the road on my own LOTS. In fact, I just returned from a 2 week trip to Yemen alone. Solo traveling is empowering. I truly believe I am a more confident woman for it. I’m with you!

Tammie's beautiful photo's, witty journal entries, and obvious sense of adventure are very refreshing and unique from a woman's perspective. She can definately hang with the " big boy's" in this usually testosterone driven, alpha male dominated field. Kudos to you Tammie. Keep up the good work !!! All that and a sense of humor too !!
