I am Star, the Voice Behind TheLWord. No, not the TV show, but the one where L stands for life, lessons, leaving your comfort zone, and occasionally lugging a backpack across cobblestone streets with zero grace.
I created this space because somewhere between booking budget flights and navigating personal plot twists, I realized something:
​
My experiences aren’t just mine. They’re mirrors, warnings, and sometimes little roadmaps for women walking a similar path — curious, capable, a little lost, and craving more.
Through travel, I’ve grown. Through growth, I’ve found new reasons to travel. And in both, I’ve discovered stories worth telling — not just the scenic highlights, but the missed trains, the tearful nights, the joyful breakthroughs, the "why-am-I-doing-this" spirals, and the "I can’t believe I did that" highs.
​
This blog is for the in-between moments; when you’re no longer who you were, but not quite sure who you’re becoming.
It’s about budget travel and big feelings. Exploring new cities while navigating career shifts, identity crises, and figuring out how to afford groceries and a weekend in Lisbon.
​
If you're a woman carving her own path, asking big questions, and booking trips anyway — this space is for you.
Welcome to The L Word — where solo travel meets self-discovery, and life gets a little louder, braver, and more beautiful along the way.
