What is your image of the solo traveller in Europe? Probably, it's a twentysomething wearing jeans and a backpack. Or maybe a suited business guy with a laptop. Well, why not a late middle-aged woman in Tilley travel clothes with a wheeled suitcase? Hey, that's me in France!
When it comes to vacations, I have a lifetime of baggage with no weight constraints. I moved from Ontario to Calgary in my early twenties leaving my family behind. No one warned me that I would spend almost all my vacations, for years to come, travelling back to Ontario to visit them.
When I finally accumulated enough to organize the trip to Europe that I missed in my 20s, travelling on my own agenda was a big factor in planning.
