Arnette Stricker

Sometimes it takes a tragedy to make travel a priority.

In Arnette Stricker’s case, it was the sudden death of her husband that prompted a round-the-world trip to help the mourning process. Little did she know that the trip would lead to a new career as well.

Arnette kept a blog of her 19-month journey, and when she returned, the Round the World Girl website was born.

A Vancouver native who now makes her home outside San Diego, Arnette continues to travel for a healthy life/work balance.

Arnette stops by to share her Tales of solo travel, starting a blog, and what travel means to her.

Thanks, Arnette!
