Tuesday, April 23, is Brought to You by the Letter “T”
From A to Z, what are the characteristics of a solo travel girl? This traveling gal is tenacious, tough and thankful!
Tenacious – This gal is passionate and determined and she’s not one to give up easily. When her mind set on something such as achieving a goal or checking an activity off her bucket list, she’ll stick with it and see it through. But, she’s also realistic. Despite time invested she’ll cut her losses when she realizes her efforts are fruitless.
Tough – Names will never hurt her and neither will sticks and stones. This wandering woman is one tough cookie. She doesn’t mind getting a little dirt under her fingernails during playtime and has the stamina to travel 24-some hours to Asia and arrive bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.
Thankful – Everyday the STG appreciates the life she has. It’s not perfect nor is it what she anticipated but she’s thankful for her family, network of friends, blog readers, cat, ability to pursue her passions and liberties afforded to her.

Driving through Western Pennsylvania’s rolling farmland, I held back tears thinking of the afternoon’s destination, the Flight 93 National Memorial. Almost 20 years later, the thoughts of the tragic events of September 11, 2001, still trigger deep emotions.
