The first time I traveled solo was also the very first time I had to face eating in a restaurant by myself. To be honest, I was terrified. Okay, well maybe not terrified, but it was definitely an uncomfortable feeling. I was in Venice for four days before I mustered up the courage to sit down in a restaurant for a meal.

I’m new to blogging and I’m really just doing this for myself – I don’t plan on becoming rich off blogging. Actually, I don’t have any plans for this blog, except expressing my views on what it’s like to be thirty-something and single in the 21st century. I’ve never been married and don’t have any…
