My third purge let go of everything I owned, save some clothing good for travel. I still had five suitcases - which became three, then a checked bag and carry on. I’m Barbara Talisman and this is my solo travel journey.

That was August 2021 and I have been traveling solo ever since. I looked at my bank and retirement accounts and sailed away from my job to travel.

Sane or crazy…….you decide.

This purging and travel is not unknown to me. Mom did the same. She bought a VW Vanagon (orange) with pop up roof and we left home for a four month journey around the United States - see blog post here.

This blog, my podcast and photos will share my love of travel, people, food, joy, failure and travel tips.
