Travel
Hi, I’m Rene Cizio
I’m a solo traveler and writer. I share travel stories, tips, and ideas. I hope they inspire you to create an adventure-filled story of your own.
You’ll often find me participating in unique experiences and sharing thoughts on the curiosities I find along the way. Places that attract me include art, history, hiking, architecture and national parks. If you like those things too, you’ll find ideas to get your travel juices flowing.
I enjoy traveling solo. It is a great way to meet people. You can do things you might not have if traveling with others. We stick to our companions when we are partnered or in a group. But when we’re alone, we’re more open and receptive. The universe senses it. We meet more interesting characters – or maybe we become them.
Solo Female Travel Stories
I’ve been traveling solo for over 12 years and have many tips, stories and ideas you can use.
Travel – Places I’ve been, ideas, tips and what I learned along the way. I’ve traveled alone through most of the United States and places in Mexico, Canada, Europe and others.
Experiences – I can’t resist trying challenging or unusual things. For example, have you wondered what it’s like in a cryotherapy chamber? Have you ever toyed with becoming a beekeeper or getting a shamanic cleanse? I have!
“In the Middle of the Journey of my Life, I came to Myself in a Dark Wood, for the Straight Way was Lost.”
– Dante, Inferno
What’s with the quote?
I named this site Middle Journey because of the Dante Alighieri quote: “In the Middle of the Journey of my Life, I came to Myself in a Dark Wood, for the Straight Way was Lost.” It resonated deeply with me. In my 40s, my established and successful career felt pointless. I wanted a do-over, so I made one for myself and started traveling full-time.
Travel, writing and sharing stories have always been ways for me to reset and see things anew. I knew I wanted travel and writing to be a bigger part of my life. So, I started sharing my solo female travel stories on Middle Journey. It’s been the most fulfilling way to stay “out of the woods” and meet many fabulous people worldwide.
