    Have you ever felt threatened because of your looks? It may sound silly but i’m a tall blonde about to travel solo and I’m a bit afraid that my looks can make me a “target” for harassment or things like that. Your blog has inspired me to take the leap but i’m still quite scared actually. I’ll be going solo to europe for 2 months and then to australia with a working holiday visa. Then I plan to do Asia. Any comments? Thanks!

    • Hey Tamara! Luckily, there are few places I’ve felt that my blonde really stands out. Latin America (sometimes) and mainland Asia. So stoked to hear you’re traveling solo! I assure you, the nerves will ease once you arrive 🙂

      In Europe, I’ve always found that locals speak to me like a local until they know any different. I feel there are more tall blondes in Europe than in the US! And especially in Australia. The only place you may feel you stand out is Asia, but I assure you it won’t feel like you’re a target. More of a specimen. lol! I just got back from China and can’t count how many people asked for a photo with me. It’s very sweet and endearing and not at all threatening!

      You’ve picked some great regions to get your feet wet! Don’t you worry!

    It’s so nice to read that! I’m from Chile so since I was a child I was looked upon and all the street whisleing and things. Also my mom is super overprotective of me so now that i’m 25 , I’ve worked for two years and saved money, I’m ready for a year of traveling! I’ve always been afraid to harassment, and it’s great to have the inspiration to defy that fear and feel safe inside.

    Thank you

Of all of the places in the world to get some much needed R&R, Cabo, Mexico is one of my favorite retreats to escape to for pampering and luxury. And no one does it better than the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedegral! 🇲🇽

The Waldorf is known for their luxury and incredible service and their 5-star amenities make you feel like royalty:

🧖‍♀️ The Spa: This hotel pairs modern techniques with ancient modalities (including herbologists and intuitive healers)! They offer a range of treatments and experiences that not only make you feel relaxed, but align with the local heritage and the natural world.

🛎️ Amenities: The Waldorf is quite possibly one of the best when it comes to service. From a personalized concierge service to daily excursions, this location has everything you could possibly need!

💦 The Tortuguitas Kids’ Club: When traveling with kids, make sure you check out the kids’ club which includes family movie nights, curated programming, scavenger hunts, Spanish classes, cooking adventures; and delicious, family-friendly dining at The Beach Club.

🥑  The Food: Whether it’s in-room dining you’re after, some delicious snacks by the pool, or you want to experience some of Mexico’s BEST cuisine the Waldorf will treat your tastebuds to an experience at one of their many, on-site restaurants (and plenty of them with a view).

A weekend getaway wasn’t NEARLY enough for such a decadent stay. I can’t wait to come back again and again!

A huge thank you to @wapedregal for hosting us on our work and play getaway!
