Bryan Wolfe spent years traveling the world on someone else's schedule. Then he became an empty nester, reclaimed his passport, and hasn't looked back. Based in State College, Pennsylvania, Bryan has sailed on some of the world's largest cruise ships, wandered through Europe on his own terms, and developed a firm belief that the best solo travel years don't start until your fifties. He founded GoingSolo.Life to build the resource he wished had existed when he started — honest, practical, and written for travelers who know exactly what they want. He's also a Fora-certified travel advisor, which means he can help you plan the trip, not just inspire it.
