Living my best life in Vienna

Hello ⟡ I'm Halle!


An experienced solo plus-size traveler with a love for exploring Europe and beyond on a budget; and a knack for all things packing and planning.


A little more background…

I grew up in the littlest state in the U.S., and before college, I’d never left the East coast. I fell in love with travel on my first trip abroad during my junior year, but that love turned into a full-fledged obsession in 2017, when I flew solo across the world, traversing 6 countries in 2 weeks on a bus packed to the brim with 40 party-hard Aussies. Introverted, reserved, and cautious Halle was replaced by a suddenly outgoing and spontaneous person. It was an adventure of a lifetime that pushed me out of my comfort zone and sparked my fire for travel forever. Since then, I’ve hit destinations in Europe, Central America, Asia, and throughout the U.S. and don’t plan on stopping any time soon.


S
O, What can YOU expect to see here?

No-BS, realistic travel advice, budgeting tips, travel planning resources, food allergy travel info, and itineraries & destination guides, from an in-debt, 9-to-5 working, broke millennial. I definitely won’t be the most glamorous, polished, or put together – but hopefully you’re cool with that. As a traveler, I always aim to be as respectful, open-minded, responsible, and sustainable as possible to support the local communities of each place I am lucky enough to visit. I hope you enjoy following along on my travels and maybe you’ll be inspired to set out on a trip of your own. I promise it will change you forever, for the better.
