Julianne Will — Sat, 15 Mar 2025 19:14:56 +0000

When I decided to take my daughter to Spain in March of 2008, traveling solo as a woman wasn’t talked about as much as it is today, let alone taking an international solo trip with a child. A number of people told me I was crazy. But I had been a single mom since Mia was just over a year old; she was 11 by then, so we had lots of experience doing things alone together: moving to Chicago…

Married Solo Travel—The Reasons and Benefits

Julianne Will — Sat, 15 Mar 2025 19:00:44 +0000

Before my mom has a heart attack, I want to make it clear that I didn’t surreptitiously get married.

Julianne Will — Sat, 08 Mar 2025 20:54:43 +0000

We all love a good travel souvenir. But an infectious disease is not something you want to bring home or, worse still, try to treat in a foreign country. So when planning a trip to an unfamiliar place, investigate whether you need to get vaccinated before traveling. You might be fine, but you might also encounter diseases that are rare in the United States — diseases that could ruin your…

Stay Safe: Register Your Trip with the State Department

Julianne Will — Sat, 08 Mar 2025 20:46:26 +0000

If you ever want to feel like an international big shot while doing the utterly responsible thing at the same time, you should register your trip with the State Department.
