One summer day in Barcelona, I crossed paths with Monet, a solo traveler exploring the city. We decided to capture the beauty of Gaudi's Sagrada Familia in the early morning light with a photo session. As we worked together, I couldn't help but sense Monet's adventurous spirit shining through. Her energy was infectious, and it reflected in the photos we created together.
As our shoot progressed, we connected on a deeper level. It was then that I learned Monet is part of THETRAVELINGCHILD, a travel family known for their adventures documented on YouTube and Instagram. It turns out, adventure runs in the family; her daughters share her love for exploration, and together, they're exploring the world one destination at a time.
About solo travel. I'm a travel photographer myself, and many of the clients I shoot are solo travelers. I also often travel solo. Solo travel is liberating; it can be fulfilling or relaxing! But I find the hardest part of solo travel is the moment you decide to buy that plane ticket. After that, it's all about enjoying the surprises the journey brings you. If you're feeling a bit nervous about taking that leap, I suggest finding a local travel photographer who resonates with you. They can be your starting point, helping to ease some of the apprehensions about travelling to unfamiliar cities.
