⁣✈️💍Solo Travel and Marriage - Caption co-written by Taha⠀
⠀
The looks and comments I have received when people find out that I'm married and I solo travel can range from shocked, to confused, to outright hurtful.⠀
⠀
Mostly people want to know how we make it work. I asked my husband, "Can you let me know things that I have done or things that you would recommend in order for other couples to incorporate solo travel into their relationship?" Here are his answers:⠀
1. Trust that your partner will make the right decisions. ⠀
2. Communicate your plan and intention for the trip to provide comfort that you thought it through.⠀
3. Provide knowledge and information about the trip you are taking.⠀
4. I never want to be the reason that you live in regret for an adventure you could have had if you weren’t married to me.⠀
⠀
I give him a copy of my itinerary and reach out multiple times a day (sometimes just to send him photos of what I'm eating). We always say goodnight to each other, no matter the time zone difference. I make sure my phone is charged and that I have a sim card for where I am so I can stay in communication and I let him know if I'm going into an area or situation without service. We also have the Find My app on our phones so we can see where we are.⠀
⠀
It takes understanding, trust, and a lot of love to support each other's passions. Do we worry about each other? All the time, but we also know that risks are a part of life and worth taking.⠀
⠀
Drop your questions about traveling solo while married in the comments and let me know if you want Taha and I to make a video talking more about this.

⁣🗺The Outer Banks, NC - Mini Travel Guide⠀

⁣🗺The Outer Banks, NC - Mini Travel Guide⠀
⠀
The Outer Banks (OBX) in North Carolina are one of my favorite places on the east coast. This area is a line of barrier islands along the NC coast. You may have heard of them from the Netflix show that shares the name. Sadly, the show isn't actually filmed in OBX 😔⠀
⠀
🏠Where to Stay:⠀
There are many quaint towns along OBX and each has its own vibe. Beach houses are great for large groups or if you are staying for a week or more, but there are also boutique hotels and inns, and even campgrounds! Something for everyone and every budget.⠀
⠀
My favorite place is @corollalightresort which is a community of beach houses on the far north end of the islands. The beach is beautiful and the resort has family activities and amenities that you have access to when you rent a home there.⠀
⠀
⛵Things to Do:⠀
Between the ocean and the sound there are plenty of opportunities for your favorite water-based fun.⠀
⠀
There is also lots of history! OBX is where the Wright Brothers first took flight. Lighthouses, theater under the stars, state parks, historic sites, and shopping! Be sure to pick up a kite for the beach at @kittyhawkkites.⠀
⠀
Also, just walking around and looking at the gorgeous beach houses is a favorite activity of mine! I'll hop on Zillow and dream big about getting a beach house.⠀
⠀
🦪What to Eat:⠀
Seafood! You can't go to the OBX without enjoying oysters, blue crab, Hatteras-style clam chowder - I'm drooling over here!⠀
⠀
OBX is also home to the original @duckdonuts and fine spot for Carolina BBQ.⠀
⠀
I've made incredible memories in @theouterbanksnc, both growing up and as an adult sharing this place with my nieces. This is a must-add spot to your USA bucket list!

⁣Want to travel better? Here are 7 things you should do before every trip (save this list for later 😉):⠀
💳Tell your bank and credit card company you are skipping town so they don't shut your card off.⠀
💌Give your itinerary to a trusted friend so someone knows your plans and how to reach you.⠀
💶Either bring some of the local currency with you or have a plan on how to get some when you land, carry a bit of your own currency, too, just in case.⠀
📝Make a plan of how you are going to get from the airport to your first accommodation, write it down and keep it with you. You will be tired and probably disoriented when you get there, this will keep you from having to think too hard.⠀
📑Make copies of important documents like your passport and hide them in your luggage. Make sure someone back home also has a copy and have a digital copy.⠀
📁Print out any confirmations for hotels or tours or transportation and take them with you, you may not have access to the internet to pull these up later.⠀
✈️Double check your flight information, it may have changed depending on how far in advance you booked your ticket.⠀
⠀
Have anything to add?

⁣I must have looked crazy yesterday. I cried my eyes out as the plane took off, like tears were rolling down my cheeks getting my mask soggy.⠀
⠀
Over a year ago I had two major pillars of my identity ripped away; my incredible job in theater and travel. And yesterday I started to feel like myself again.⠀
⠀
My husband messaged me as I was boarding my plane and asked, "Do you feel weird?"⠀
⠀
I replied, "I feel happy."⠀
⠀
Travel is happiness to me. It's joy and curiosity. Travel is the thing that makes me feel connected but also makes me feel small and humble. Travel brings out emotions that are deep and complex and hard to describe.⠀
⠀
For over a year I've felt numb, now I feel happy.⠀
