About One Girl Wandering

Hey there! I’m Lindsay, the One Girl Wandering, and I’m happy you’re visiting my blog and following along with my adventures. I’m passionate about solo travel, trip planning, and sharing all the travel tips I know with you. I’ve wanted to travel the world for as long as I can remember but for the longest time was overwhelmed and confused about how to do it. I hope I can encourage and educate other women on how to take their travel dreams into reality!

The most beautiful sakura afternoon tea at @hautec The most beautiful sakura afternoon tea at @hautecouturecafe_official 🌸🌸🌸 This delightful afternoon tea is going on until April 24. Reservations are required. This cafe changes out their decor and menu depending on the seasons and now I want to try them all 🤭 it’s also along the Meguro river so as you are enjoying the cherry blossoms inside the cafe you can also see them blooming out the window. 📍Tokyo, Japan
5 Things to Do in Edinburgh Visit Edinburgh Castl 5 Things to Do in Edinburgh Visit Edinburgh Castle - You could easily spend an entire day exploring the many buildings and exhibits here. Try to be there at 1pm to see the One O’Clock Gun be fired. Jonnie Walker Journey of Flavour - This was a really fun, theatrical tour that not only went into the the history of Jonnie Walker but also whisky in Scotland. And it included three drinks based on my flavour preference. Harry Potter Inspiration Walking Tour - Much of the Harry Potter series draws inspiration from Edinburgh. You can either join a walking tour or map out your own route. Afternoon Tea in a Library - One of the most elegant ways to spend an afternoon is by enjoying tea in the Signet Library. You will feel like royalty! Holyrood Palace - Speaking of royalty. Booking an admission ticket for the Holyrood Palace is a must if you are a history buff. No photos allowed inside but you can walk in the footsteps of Mary Queen of Scots who lived there from 1561-1567. #solotravel #solotraveler #shetravels #scotlandexplore #scotlandtravel #scotlandlover #scotlandisnow #scotlandlove #edinburghcity #edinburghstory #visitedinburgh #solofemaletravel #solofemaletraveler #solotravelgirl
Always Google These Things Before a Trip - Part 2 Always Google These Things Before a Trip - Part 2 How to get around - It’s great to know all your options for getting around a place and how much they cost. It is also good to know what ride sharing apps are used, Uber isn’t available everywhere but there might be another company you can use. National holidays - Nothing can muck up your plans like a national holiday that you didn’t know about. Things could be close, roads may be blocked, or it might be the Balinese “Day of Silence” where you can’t leave your hotel. Nearest hospital/pharmacy/embassy - Trust me, this is not information that you want to have to be googling in an emergency. Things that are illegal - Not every country has the same laws as we do here in the states and not knowing isn’t an excuse. From gum being illegal in Singapore to laws about prescription medicine you will want to do some research before your trip. Entry requirements - Beyond visas, some countries may require that you can prove income, have certain vaccines, or have travel insurance or even that you have a certain number of months left on your passport before it expires or amount of space left in your passport. Don’t be turned away because your didn’t do your research. #traveltips #passportlife #traveladventures #traveljunkie #justtravel #lovetotraveltheworld #travelisfun #solofemaletravel #travelreels #travelbetter

5 Things to Do in Capri The Monte Solaro Chairlif 5 Things to Do in Capri The Monte Solaro Chairlift - Enjoy 13 minutes of beautiful views as you ride the chairlift to the top of Monte Solaro. Drinks and Celebrity Spotting on the Piazzetta di Capri - There is nothing quite like sitting down and enjoying a drink after a long day of sightseeing and who knows, you might even see one of the many celebrities that visit Capri. Take a Ride in a Convertible Taxi - One of the easiest ways is to get from Capri to Anacapri is to hop into one of the many vintage taxis. They are some of the few vehicles allowed on the island. Take in the Views at Villa Lysis - It’s a bit of a walk but totally worth it for the spectacular views of the marina and Mt. Vesuvius. Pick a Vacation Fragrance from Carthusia - Made right in Capri, this collection of perfumes will bring you right back to the island every time you wear it long after your trip is over. #italiansummer #italianholiday #italianvacation #capri #italiantravel #italiagram #capriisland #amalficoast
🏠Get Your House Travel Ready⬇️ Clean out t 🏠Get Your House Travel Ready⬇️ Clean out the fridge - No one wants to come home to a science project, if you know it is going to go bad while you are away - chuck it. Take out the trash - Don’t come home to a smelly house, take that trash out and put in a fresh bag. Adjust the thermostat - There is no need to have the AC on full blast when you aren’t home. Put clean sheets on the bed - Ok, you don’t have to do this but trust me, after a long travel day to get home, a fresh bed feels amazing. You will thank yourself for this one. Give a trusted neighbor your contact information and a key - You never know when this might come in handy. I’ve had major storms come through and needed a neighbor to check on my house, an unexpected package show up that needs to be taken in, an alarm go off and luckily I’ve had a neighbor to help keep an eye on things. Don’t forget to reciprocate and bring a small thank you gift! Put packages on hold - Have I told you about the time porch pirates stole my entire month of Amazon subscriptions? Learn from my mistake and don’t have things delivered while you away. It also screams, “No one is home!” Put your lights on timers - This is one of those security things that is super easy to do so it doesn’t look like your house is empty. #traveltips #passportlife #traveladventures #traveljunkie #justtravel #lovetotraveltheworld #travelisfun #solofemaletravel #travelreels #travelbetter
