Independent Spectrum
This special episode during
the physical distancing requirements allows for some new insights and new ways
to think about travel, especially for women who like to travel independently.
The FAQ is What is your favorite thing about traveling
solo? The episode is about the Travel Independent Spectrum, the mistake is the

Today’s Episode is about the Travel Independent
Spectrum
What kind of a traveler are you?
This is the official launch of the new term, The
Travel Independent Spectrum, which is a way to measure your level of the type
of traveler you are.
This
book that I’m writing will help you find your way matched to your level of
travel experience.
There
are five levels so far, and there may be more in the future.
For
now, Level 1 is the non-experienced. You are ready to begin though.
Level
2 is some solo travel, but mostly group travel.
Level
3 is Traveled independent to a different state or country.
Level
4 is Several independent trips, but not in a foreign language country
Level
5, Been to many different countries and
has been challenged in independent travel.
To Get Going, what you need
to go?
The Travel Independent
Spectrum:
What
kind of a traveler do you think you are? I’ll help you find your level and meet
that type of travel. I want to get you to see yourself on at least one level of
the spectrum of experience.
We can go into some examples here if you
like:
Levels of travel independence:
Level 1: no experience by ready to start. You can
start at a city where you have a family member or friend where you can stay
with them. It could be Boston, New York or even a suburban town in Montana, but
it’s relatively close to your home state and not for an extended time.
Level 2: some solo travel, but mostly group travel or
stay home, if you live in Illinois and visit to Ohio or something like state to
state travel for an extended time, on your own completely.
Level 3: Traveled independent to a different state or
country, For example, Canada, Hawaii, or Alaska, or Mexico
Level 4: Several independent trips already but not in
a foreign language country, for example, Australia, New Zealand or Ireland/ UK
Level 5: Been to many different countries that are
challenging to travel, for example Africa, and visit some countries like Kenya
or Tanzania.
Today’s Mistake-The wrong hole, hole in one.
Yes, I had a hole in one.
Once. Only it was the wrong hole. So, it doesn’t count. Here’s what happened. I
was on the short course at a golf course in Southern California. I hit the ball
on the 12th tee. I lost the ball, so I had to start with a second
one. Then on the 15th hole my ball was found in the cup. That’s
where it landed about 20 minutes earlier. So strange, but still a mistake.
