About Me
I live in a very small island and feel a lot the necessity to travel. Started my solo trips because of work and now exploring more and loving to do it by myself. I am an easy going person, I work quite a lot running my own business so vacations for me are very often and important.

About Me
Hi! I'm Kirsty and I love to travel. I've only just got into group trips recently as the majority of the time I prefer to travel solo! This year I've been to Tenerife (the northern part), Lisbon and the south of France. Still room for one more holiday - and I'm thinking the Azores ❤️

Solo travel experience
Super safe (I walked around late at night without feeling the least bit unsafe), very affordable, and people are so friendly. The city has a small vibrant city center, natural springs (both cold and hot), amazing natural landscape, and great food, and lots of alleys to wander through.
