Highlights
Launching Passport to Confident Solo Female Travel was an incredible ride! I’m going to write about this in the “Side Projects Update” section further down.
A fun trip to Western Sicily. This was going to be our winter 2023 escape — 10 days in Sicily, based in Palermo for most of the time, then some driving around and exploring!
First off — the weather unfortunately was not on our side, which I’ll go into in the “Challenges” section, and unfortunately that put a damper on much of the trip. But there was a lot of great stuff, too.
Palermo is one of my new favorite places in Italy. It’s such a cool city — energetic and friendly yet surprisingly chilled (and far more low-key than I expected — I thought it would be like Naples).

We dove into Sicilian food, hardcore. Palermo has a lot of unusual dishes that you won’t find elsewhere in Sicily, and we worked our way through a long list I had put together. Expect the big Sicilian food post soon!
Beyond Palermo, we got to visit several cool towns. Erice was a highlight — a beautiful hill town perched up in the clouds, with spectacular views from above. And San Vito Lo Capo is a place I want to return to in summer — a North African-flavored town with gorgeous cliffs along the beach and square whitewashed buildings in town.
The Segesta ruins were pretty cool, too, and I’m not a big ruins person ordinarily. The view from the amphitheater on top of the hill is spectacular!
Finally making it to Lumina Park. You might recall that last month Charlie and I were supposed to meet our friends at an Alice in Wonderland-themed outdoor light show — then we got trapped in the snow behind a fence!
We made it here this monthand it was fun walking around in the dark around light sculptures of playing…
