About Bonbon Vie

Sometimes you just have to start. My friends and family have all suggested I keep a blog while on my year of solo travel, so here goes nothing.

Thanks for encouraging me once again to move outside my comfort zone!

I’ll keep you updated, sharing my pursuit of the good, good life or the bon bon vie. It’s a start, we will see where it leads us!

For anyone who doesn’t know me, I’m Bonnie, a recent empty nester turned vagabond.

My children are grown and launched and I am now on my own. I’ve found that traveling with friends has been hard to coordinate and wasn’t satisfying my travel bug. While I’m a bit nervous, I'‘m also very excited to take an entire year to travel on my own.

So, I’ve sold my house, car and a lot of my “stuff”. I feel lighter and ready for the challenge. I’ll share my encounters, photos and thoughts along the way (and try not to embarrass my kids, but no promises).

I’ll be starting out walking the Camino de Santiago trail (the French way). From there we’ll see how it all unfolds…
