Angie Vasquez was a part of our 2021 Writer's Residency for Underrepresented Storytellers. We love Angie's positive, can-do attitude. She loves getting outside and is always exploring new places in her van Peter Parker. 

Angie has an awesome Youtube channel where she shares her adventures and we are so glad she is allowing us to share a few here!

How to stay safe as a solo female traveler

Being cautious and aware can help you have a safe trip whether you're hitting the road in your own built-out van or tenting in the backcountry. Angie has years of experience to share on how to stay safe as a solo female traveler.
