About

Hey, I’m Matt — a solo traveler with a camera in one hand and a curiosity for the world in the other.

I took my first solo trip in 2017 to Japan, and I’ve been hooked on the experience ever since. For me, solo travel isn’t just about checking destinations off a list — it’s about the freedom to explore at my own pace, the challenges that come with navigating new places alone, and the personal growth that happens along the way.

This blog is where I share the real moments of traveling solo: the highs, the lows, the unexpected lessons, and the quiet joys of discovering the world by yourself. Whether you’re a seasoned solo traveler or just thinking about taking your first trip alone, I hope you find something here that inspires you to go.

Thanks for stopping by — and welcome to Travels with Matt.
