About

Think of me as your travel-loving neighbor who pops over with coffee, a suitcase, and a dozen “You won’t believe what happened…” stories.

I started Suite Style Blog because I know solo female travel can feel exciting and terrifying. You’re juggling questions like:

• “Is it safe?”
• “What if I get lost?”
• “How do I pack cute outfits without checking a bag the size of a baby elephant?”

I’ve been there — and I’ve figured out how to turn those worries into heck yes moments.

I’m a lifelong traveler, storyteller, and adventurer at heart. With over 25 countries under my belt, two mountains climbed, and years of experience curating unforgettable experiences, I’ve learned that travel is more than just a passport stamp—it’s a gateway to new perspectives, deeper connections, and moments that stay with you forever.

Who This Blog is For

This is your corner of the internet if you’re a woman who:

• Has wanderlust but also a little wonder-what-could-go-wrong.
• Wants to travel solo (or already does) but still has questions like:
  “Is it safe?”
  “How do I meet people without it being weird?”
  “Can I look cute without checking a bag the size of a Great Dane?”
• Loves culture, food, dancing, and finding the real heart of a place — not just the selfie spots.
• Is over 40 (or fabulous at any age) and believes adventure doesn’t have an expiration date.
• Wants travel tips tested in the real world — not copy-paste advice from someone who’s never had to find a safe ride at 2 a.m.
• Believes in experiences over stuff — but still appreciates a comfy hotel bed, a great glass of wine, and maybe a rooftop view.

What You’ll Find Here

On this blog, you’ll get:

• Safety tips that actually work — tested and proven on real trips, not just Pinterest boards.
• Step-by-step destination guides so you know where to go, what to do, and how to blend in like a local.
• Packing and money-saving hacks so you can travel more, stress less, and still look fabulous.
• Confidence boosts for those “Am I really doing this?” moments.

As they say, “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.” I’m here to help you turn the page — safely, confidently, and with your lipstick still intact.

If you’ve ever dreamed about traveling more but felt nervous, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start — I’m your girl. I’ve been in your shoes (and sandals, and hiking boots) and learned how to turn the “what ifs” into “heck yes, let’s do this.”

Why You Can Trust Me

I’ve traveled to over 25 countries solo, navigated cities where I didn’t speak the language, and learned what actually keeps you safe without killing the fun. Every tip I share comes from experience — the kind that leaves you with stories, not regrets.

I won’t just tell you what’s Instagrammable — I’ll tell you what’s worth your time, what’s worth the money, and what’s going to make you feel empowered when you step off that plane.

For 15 years, I worked as an educator. Then, I shifted gears to the nonprofit world, leading efforts that brought clean water to rural villages in East Africa. I’ve seen firsthand how travel can change lives—both our own and those of the people we meet along the way.

But this blog? This is my passion project. It’s where I blend my love for food, drink, adventure, and dance into a vibrant space where we can explore the world together.

Let’s Do This Together!

Travel isn’t about collecting passport stamps. It’s about collecting moments, friends, flavors, and stories that change how you see the world — and yourself.

As one of my favorite sayings goes: “Life is short and the world is wide.” So let’s make it count.

Grab your passport and your sense of humor — because we’re about to collect moments, not things. And trust me, the stories are even better when we tell them together.

Most importantly, this blog is about YOU—your dreams, your wanderlust, and your desire to experience the world in a way that feels meaningful and exciting.

So, let’s embark on this journey together. Ready to explore? Let’s go! 🚀🌎✨
