From A to Z, what are the characteristics of a solo travel girl? This wandering woman is whole, witty and wonderful!

Whole – Although it’s the 21st century, some people still have a difficult time wrapping their head around the singleton solo travel girl concept. True, not all STGs are single income no kids (SINKs) while taking a break from traveling but many are. This lifestyle may be a temporary stop on their journey of life or they may choose it.

In either case, just because a STG may be a SINKs does not mean their lives are not complete. It’s quite the opposite. They grab life by the horns and hang on because they don’t know when the opportunity will present itself again. Solo travel girls are complete and whole.

Witty – As she continues to chase wanderlust, she discovers what’s truly important in life and finds more humor in the world around her. She has a smart sense of humor and is quick with clever responses to questions by dolts.

Wonderful – When this solo travel girl was a wee one, she aspired to be Wonder Woman (along with the Bionic Woman, Samantha from Bewitched and Laura Ingalls). She thought if she spun her body round and round and round she’d become a superhero ready to take on crime with her Magic Lasso, repel bullets with gold cuffs and fly away in an invisible plane. Other than falling down from dizziness this didn’t happen. Instead, she developed into a marvelous, astonishing and wonderful woman.
