Hey, I’m JoJo! Part-time travel blogger and blogger sharing my tips, trips, experience, itineraries, and more as a female who loves to solo travel and budget travel ❤️✈️
Is Iceland expensive to travel to? Yes! Is it doable when you're on a budget, it is!

Although I only visited for a few days, I tried my best to do this trip on a budget. I'm trying to create some reels and posts to show you all how I managed to do this.

This week, I'd like to start getting plane tickets for my upcoming trips in 2026. But with the whole airport/air travel situation here in the USA, it's nerve wracking trying to plan around this or deciding if I should wait to see if things get better.

Besides uploading a blog post and attempting to get a vlog published this month, I'm taking this time to try to plan ahead for the New Year.

I'm going into my 6th year of blogging and vlogging! I want to continue to do what I love while planning & creating a strategy to continue to grow and create.

Happy Monday! Hope you enjoyed your weekend 😊

I got a new tattoo on Saturday, we're just adding onto my travel half sleeve to make it a full travel themed sleeve! (with a hand tattoo, of course)

I love the concept and I cannot wait to see the finished product,

Overall, Iceland was amazing! It was too short, I’ll admit. I wish I could have spent more time there but that’s ok. There will be another opportunity to visit again.

Despite the blistering cold, the winter snow storm we had while on tour, and the 4 hours of sunlight, I’d do it again! ❤️🇮🇸

Our 2nd full day of visiting Vermont consisted of driving through Windsor, crossing the covered bridge into New Hampshire, and visiting the Saint-Gaudens NHP.

Then, we went to the Taftsville bridge to take some pics, visited Sugarbush Farms to see how they make maple syrup, and visited Woodstock.

🇮🇸 Solo Trip to Iceland: Day 4 🇮🇸

On my last day, I got a latte and a croissant at Te & Kaffi, which was very good. I walked the streets one last time before getting an Uber to the bus station. I paid for my bus ticket to the airport, caught my plane, and made it home.

Until next time, Iceland!

With it being December 2nd, I’m trying my best to set some monthly goals.

I’d like to finish off 2025 by accomplishing the goals I’ve set for the month 🤞🏾

We’re officially in a new month, which is also the last month of the year! Where did time go???

Happy Sunday! Hope you’ve enjoyed your weekend and thanksgiving (if you celebrate it).

I’ve been busy working this past week, even on my bday lol. But I’m happy I had this weekend off, so I could spend time with my family

🇮🇸 Day 3 in Iceland: Part 2 🇮🇸

After exploring museums, the streets, and shops of Reykjavik, I went back to my hostel to rest for a little bit before going on my night tour through Viator. I was going to see the Northern Lights!

This is a very hit or miss thing. Nonetheless, it was beautiful!

🇮🇸 Solo Trip to Iceland: Day 2 🇮🇸

Day 2 in Iceland was dedicated to the South Coast Classic Full-Day Tour.

The tour took us from Reykjavík to Seljalandsfoss, Reynisfjara Beach (black sand beach), Skógafoss, and other locations.

Minus driving through a snowstorm, this was a beautiful tour!

After the Ben & Jerry’s Factory tour, we drove about 12 minutes to Stowe, VT. This is a cute little town in northern Vermont to visit. Now, since I went in early November, the fall foliage wasn’t at its peak. But it’s still a beautiful little town to walk through, have dinner, and a hot chocolate.
November 20, 2025 at 9:02 PM
Visiting Ben & Jerry’s Factory for a tour is a must when visiting Vermont (this is where they first started).

It was fun learning how their flavors are made and trying the new flavor! (Yes, I’m really that short lol 🫣)

Happy Halloween! Anyone traveling or doing anything fun today?

I’m doing a double today. It’s more tiring than fun but I see it as extra income for important stuff and travel.

Either way, stay safe out there tonight!

🇮🇸 Solo Trip to Iceland: Day 1 🇮🇸

Day one started off with an evening flight from Baltimore Keflavik. I bought a bus ticket to Reykjavík, waited a LONG time for places to open up for breakfast. I had breakfast at Grai Kotturinn, walked around Reykjavík, then had dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe.

It’s official: my social media calendar has my Iceland content scheduled on it.

This means that I have to hold myself accountable now to create that content and schedule it. I’m hoping to do this before I leave for Vermont so at least I have a head start.
October 29, 2025 at 2:04 PM
I’m going to Vermont very soon and I’m super excited for it! This won’t be a solo trip, I’ll be going with my best friends. And Vermont is such a beautiful state too, so I cannot wait to experience it with them!
October 28, 2025 at 2:02 PM
I am pushing so hard to get my year of experience in this role of mine, then I can continue on with the next chapter in my life.

I’m slowly feeling the burnout, both physically and mentally. I gave myself a goal and since I’m very goal oriented, I intend to see this goal accomplished come next year
October 25, 2025 at 2:02 PM
Counting down until I travel to Vermont for my birthday trip! I cannot wait and this trip will be with my best friend as well. There’s nothing like a little birthday trip with your best friend.
October 24, 2025 at 2:05 PM
Have I met any of my October goals? Nope! Will I continue to work towards them, even if that means not accomplishing them? Absolutely!

If they don’t get done this month, then I’ll do my best to do them in November.

One thing about me, I ALWAYS have a travel savings account.

And, I’m going to continue to do what I can do to build that travel savings up! I love to travel and I get very restless when I don’t travel. But I know the funds need to be there to travel.

The total cost of my 5 day solo trip to Las Vegas: $1,638.85

Cost of trip before leaving (flights, accommodation, tours, etc): $1,074.30
Cost during the trip (transportation, food, souvenirs, etc): $564.55

Definitely not on the cheap end but not as expensive as it can be

Took a little weekend getaway with my boyfriend and it was much needed!

Went to the Jim Thorpe Fall Festival on Saturday, stayed overnight in Easton, PA, then finished off our Sunday with a diner breakfast and a short hike.

“I’m going to finally start making my Iceland content!” She says.

Fast forward to practically mid-October and that has yet to happen 😅

I have a 4 day weekend coming up so I plan to keep my work 😎
