About Wanderlust for One

Wanderlust for One shares destination insights, practical tips, and thoughtful perspectives on solo travel. Started in 2010 as a personal travel blog, the site has evolved into an online destination for audiences searching for information and inspiration about traveling alone.

Marsha Samuel is the New Jersey-based blogger behind Wanderlust for One. Although she nearly chickened out of her first solo travel experience in 2009, Marsha ultimately fell in love with the freedom of going it alone. She has visited more than 30 U.S. states and six countries and believes satisfying travel experiences can be found anywhere, whether it’s halfway around the world or in your own backyard. She’s a strong advocate of visiting small towns and second cities.

When she’s not on the move, she’s usually creating and curating content for the blog, planning her next escape, balancing the demands of a challenging career, knitting something chic, or watching every travel packing “how-to” video she can find.

Be sure to connect with Wanderlust for One on Instagram and Facebook.
