Hi, I’m Monica.
Welcome to This Rare Earth.
I’ve been travelling the world for well over a decade now, mostly as a solo female, to offbeat destinations like Oman, Cambodia, Lithuania, and more.
I started this blog to provide a resource for other adventurous, curious, and often-solo travelers, and to prove that the world is not as scary as the media might have you think. So join me on my journey, as you start one of your very own!
