I’m thankful to be a solo traveler and here’s why YOU must be one too!

Over the years, I have come to understand how grateful I am to have not only begun solo traveling to places all over the world, particularly theme parks, but the community I have found as I’ve taken the journey as a solo traveler.

In reality, being a solo traveler isn’t as lonely as you may think.

It can be full of fun, adventure, meeting new and exciting people while building new friendships and ultimately learning more about yourself than you probably ever knew.

There is a stigma on solo travel that you may look pitiful or sad being alone somewhere or that it’s not safe to do.

I am here to disprove these facts and give you the proper tools and community to help guide you to enjoying solo travel.

Today, I will be chatting about what I am thankful for as a solo traveler and how the community continues to assist and grow as the journey continues.

Age doesn’t matter as long as you have the drive, optimism and courage to start!

All 11 EPCOT Rides Ranked from Worst to Best in 2025!

Are you ready to take on the BEST rides and attractions at Epcot this year ranked from worst to best?

If so, you’re in the right place!

“The Magic of Possibility.” Epcot Center’s original slogan when it first opened to guests on October 1, 1982.

Epcot fans to this day herald the park for its commitment to edutainment, a form of teaching guests about specific topics in an entertaining fashion.

Guests still fondly remember these types of edutainment attractions.

These rides and attractions were sponsored mainly by outside companies and once those ended, the attractions would eventually and sadly disappear.

Today, Epcot doesn’t put as much of a basis on these kinds of attractions, rather they are focusing on IPs (Intellectual Properties).

Depending on which Epcot fan you speak to, this could be the worst thing to happen to Epcot OR Epcot is simply adapting to the times and progressing as it should.

Take a journey with me as today we will be ranking all the Epcot rides and attractions that currently reside there today.

These rankings were done based on thrill, history, popularity and fun! With just a spark, let’s get started!
