I never thought I would fall in love with solo travel. Growing up, I didn’t like to be far from home. And I hated being out after dark. My first solo trip was to Italy way back in 2008. I wanted to go there so badly, but couldn’t find anyone to go with. So, instead of waiting around, I just decided to go by myself. This was very unlike me. My trip got off to a rough start thanks to being ripped off by a cabbie in Milan. And my jet lag was horrendous.

My husband and I recently decided to spend 24 hours in the Fort Worth Stockyards.

The area is not very big and is quite touristy, so it can easily be a day trip from Dallas, Downtown Fort Worth, or any other city within the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.

Have you ever thought to yourself (usually during a workday), “I can’t do this anymore?” You’ve done everything you “should” through your twenties and thirties. You’ve tried to do everything “right.” And yet, a couple of decades on, it feels like you’re just going through the motions. You wonder where all the time has gone and why you feel so unfulfilled.  Not to mention, your back and knees seem to hurt all the time. When did this happen? This was me.
