A D | Why do solo travelers pay more?

I’ve felt it time and time again while traveling alone.

The solo tax is real—and Roamate just launched to challenge what’s been normalized for years.

2026 feels like a proper shift for us solo travelers!

Best Stay in Phuket, Thailand 🇹🇭 I’m not going back to Thailand unless I stay at Bandara Villas Phuket again [Save this ]🌊 ✨ By the way, Thailand is one of my favorite destinations in the world. I’ve been there 3 times 🙈

I loved everything about my stay especially

~ the private infinity pool in every villa, overlooking the ocean
~ onsite restaurant + beach bar perfect for sunset dinners and cocktails
~ spacious, private villas that feel like your own sanctuary
~ spa + beachfront pool for slow, intentional days

This wasn’t just a hotel for me — it’s was an experience.

Rates start around $400–$450 per night (varies by season)

Save this for your Phuket Thailand trip 🇹🇭✨

This is DESTIN, FLORIDA 🌊 [ Save this for your 2026 trips]
I only spent one day in Destin…and somehow it became the place I keep replaying in my mind. Well, maman aussi.

Between the unreal water, the slower pace, and flying direct from DC into Fort Walton Beach Airport (VPS) with, the entire experience felt surreal from start to finish.

Watching my mother enjoy the ocean so freely — so fully — reminded me how travel has completely changed our lives.
Some destinations impress you. Others stay with you. Destin is that place.

It’s safe to say Destin just became a place we’ll return to — not as tourists, but as tradition. This is the perfect destination for a mother-daughter moment 🩵

2025, I persevered.

I didn’t “thrive” the way thriving looks to me—but I got up time and time again.
Often with a smile.
And yes… with tears too.

I prayed a lot.
I wrestled with low confidence.
Some purpose projects remain unfinished—but not forgotten.

Still, 2025 held movement.
I traveled solo to Japan, France, Ireland, Greece, and Turkey.
I took my mom on her first real vacation on a press trip.
I experienced two unforgettable press trips—Visit Bradenton and Baton Rouge.

I took my first cruise ever—a solo Virgin Voyages cruise 😱
And I made new memories in NYC with my childhood best friend.

So as I step into 2026, I’m choosing boldness.
Bolder destinations.
Deeper follow-through on purpose.
And allowing myself to be fully seen by my community.

Here’s to falling…
and getting back up—again and again—through 2026.
Xx

2026 Solo Bucketlist Destination [ Save + Share ] 🇸🇻 I fell inlove with El Salvador in 2021, and went back in 2024, and would do it again in 2026.

Here’s why it stays on my list:

~ Pacific beaches + surf towns
~ Volcano hikes and lush scenery (perfect for adventure girlies)
~ Reasonable travel distances (you can see a lot in one trip)
~ Incredible food + coffee
~ Affordable for solo travelers

It’s a country that truly surprises you! You might just go back again and again

Comment ‘Pupusa’ and I’ll send you my solo guide 🤗

This year felt like I was swimming in a pool of lows, but this moment right here—One of the highlights of my entire life 🥹Maman and I were both born in Africa, and never could’ve imagined that the daughter she’d give birth to would one day move to America and have a dream. To travel the world solo and help women feel confident enough to do the same. As she persevered on this sometime daunting journey, she would be able partner with brands, or even an airline, and she would bring Maman on her very first vacation in her 67 years of life.

If 2025 was hard for you, I hope you can still find one reason to celebrate. I hope that one reason fuels your motivation for 2026.

Life is full of lows, but we hold on to the things that fuel our ‘joie de vivre’ and the ones we love the most. For me that is solo travel, and amongst many people, ma chère Maman!

P.S. I take no responsibility for that bonnet on momsy’s head. She ain’t want her inches swimming in the ocean 😂

Bonjour to my old and new friends — from a place so close to my heart, Bordeaux, France 🇫🇷

My name is Christane, but you can call me Kris. I am a travel enthusiast who focuses on rich solo experiences around the world 🗺️🩵

Can I be honest? This year hasn’t been the easiest, so I decided to return to a place where I’ve only ever known love — shared good cheese, sipped even better wine, and spent time with family. A place I’ve gotten to call home for the last 10+ years. A place where I feel seen, grounded, and like I truly belong🍷

It’s a place I’ve explored solo, one I could revisit a thousand times over, and maybe even say “I do” (if God permits). A place I’d take you on a group trip in a heartbeat.

As the season changes, so does this chapter — new projects are unfolding, and something special is in the works right here in wine country 👀 (Let’s just say, it involves drinking lots of wine) 🍷

Let’s be real, as an avid solo traveler, capturing special moments in meaningful places can be challenging — because let’s be honest, my tripod just can’t get all the angles! 💯

#Gifted | That’s why I loved partnering with. Seb, my awesome photographer who had no idea I was fluent in French 🙈 completely brought my vision to life and helped me freeze these memories in one of my most special places. 💛

You sometimes ask me how I capture my photos as a solo traveler. Here’s a resource I’m happily sharing with you! An experience of a lifetime. With you can find a photographer in any city, not just Bordeaux France!
