At the start of this week, I had no intention of trying to see the solar eclipse. London, my home of almost 20 years, was set to experience more than 90% partial coverage, and that felt good enough for me.
After an intense year of work and travel — and celebrating my 40th birthday last week — I'd put myself on a self-imposed travel ban for August. It felt like time for some rest.
Then, this past Monday afternoon, I felt some familiar tingles: the urge to escape, have an adventure and do something a bit different.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
