"Some trips change your perspective. Others? They change your entire approach to life."
Victoria Polk has spent 99% of her travels solo, and she wouldn’t have it any other way. From walking NYC at 3 AM because she felt safe to staying in when a town shut down by 7 PM, she’s learned that travel is about knowing when to adapt.
