The End of a Chapter
I’m standing on the precipice of a new decade: my forties. Foreboding music plays. No, but seriously, turning 40 as a woman is terrifying. Society and the patriarchy have given us these boxes that we’re supposed to check: marriage, kids, a dog, maybe some chickens. Not to mention the pressures of maintaining your 40-something-year-old body…
Hey, I’m Melissa. A solo female traveler in the final year of my thirties and overwhelmed with the idea of my 40s. Life doesn’t look how I thought it would, but whose does? I’m on a journey to reclaim and find myself again through traveling, experiences, some hard lessons, and lots and lots of ice cream.
