About me:

Hi, I’m Beth! Welcome to my blog: blissfully.beth. I started this blog and my Instagram in August of last year with the intention to highlight the best luxury hotels and experiences for solo adventurers like myself. As a sober traveler, I bring a unique perspective and aim to provide valuable insights, solo travel tips, and hopefully a few laughs along the way.

Born and raised in NYC, my love for travel started young. My first solo trip at 17—a six-week journey through Vietnam—completely changed my life and perspective on the world. 10+ years ago, a self proclaimed raging alcoholic, I was able to completely turn my life around and get sober. If you’re struggling with alcohol, newly sober, or have been sober for a while, please know that you’re not alone.

A few years into my sobriety, I took a leap of faith and moved to Bangkok, Thailand, to teach. I built an incredible community there and fell in love with traveling all over again. After a broken engagement, I returned home to NYC, where I found a fulfilling career and reignited my passion for exploring the world. Now, I aim to visit every country, but also to find balance between travel and work. These days, I enjoy a more of a slower travel, digital nomadic lifestyle to really give myself time to dive into each new country I visit. You can read more in depth about my journey and why I started this blog here.

On this blog, you’ll find everything from mocktail recipes, sobriety tips, travel inspiration, trip itineraries, various luxury accommodation reviews, hidden gems, and must-visit locations. For your convenience, I have split my blog into 2 sections: 1 focused on travel and another more focused on sober life and all things sobriety.

Thank you so much for being here! Let’s explore the world, one sober solo adventure at a time. I’d love for you to join my email list for the latest updates & to connect on instagram! I can’t wait to connect with you all, to hear your stories and build a sober solo travel community!
