Your Adventure Starts NOW.

About Jessica Festa

Hi! Iโ€™m Jessie, an NYC-based solo female traveler obsessed with outdoor adventure, cultural immersion, and experiences not often shared in guidebooks.

After studying abroad in Australia, I became completely obsessed with travel.

The problem? I could never find anyone to go with!

Instead of waiting around, I decided to start traveling the world alone.

It was the best decision I ever made.

Not only did it give me complete control over my trips, but it helped shape me into the person I am today. I want to help others enjoy the benefits of solo travel too.

My goal:

To empower you to confidently travel solo, whether itโ€™s your first time setting off on your own or youโ€™ve done it before and are looking for your next solo destination.

And because traveling alone isnโ€™t always what Instagram portrays, I vow to share both the good and bad of solo travel.
