Solo Cruises, Eurail and Japan Rail Adventures, Hotel Reviews! Learn from my mistakes😎 One of the things I enjoy sharing the most about my trips are the mistakes I made along the way. I do this to add humor, let people know a bit more about my personality, and most of all, so others can learn from my mistakes. I travel solo almost exclusively and I love it! I can go where I want, when I want, and hardly ever make a schedule. I suppose that's why traveling Europe on a Eurail Pass or jumping on a cruise ship, are my favorite ways to see the world. I'm blessed to be retired from the military and the government. As a retired air traffic controller, I always dreamt about visiting the places the aircraft I controlled were coming from and where they were going. Travel is a great way to learn about other people and cultures. The more we experience, the more tolerant and understanding we become. Don't be afraid of the world. Get out there and see it for yourself. Even by yourself.

Pro Tips From Creators
The most-shared advice for RixTrips.
Bring a USB adapter, but not one that has a cord.
Use an elastic band to identify your own cup.
Get up to the front of the bow and if possible up to the highest deck for the sail-away.
Consider flying into Anchorage and taking the train for a one-way cruise to save money.
Book the Gold Star class on the Alaska Railroad for panoramic windows and a balcony.
Take the excursion that goes right up to the wall of the glacier.
If traveling solo with one bag, walking from the train station to the ship is scenic and feasible.
Book the ferry online in advance for convenience.
