A love of travel, personal loss and an empty nest all conspired for Janice to begin Solo Traveler in 2009. Resonating with thousands of readers, the site quickly went from personal to public and the Solo Traveler Project began.

This site, interviews in the media, speaking gigs including The Smithsonian Institute, the amazing Solo Travel Society on Facebook, a solo traveler's manifesto called Glad You're Not Here and, most recently, The Solo Traveler's Handbook all connect those who love and those who long to go solo.

Janice weaves tales from her trips with practical tips to ignite Keynote speeches about travel, life's challenges and entrepreneurial success.
