"SOLO Traveler"

About this episode

In this episode, T. Anthony Bland shares his experiences and reflections as a solo traveler after a recent trip to Branson, Missouri.

Welcome back! This week's episode is a few days later than I expected, apparently I needed more time to recover from my trip west and I also had to return to work quickly. So, here we are and here's the ramblings of a weary traveler... Last weekend I drove for 12 hours on an hour and a half of sleep, to Branson, Missouri. I was up watching the show "The Madison" with my daughter the night before and couldn't get to sleep. I arrived in Branson in a full zombie state. Then got up early the next morning to go hiking in the Ozark Mountains. I recorded this the day after the first hike. This trip was planned for October 2025 originally, and with slightly different plans as you'll here. What prompted this was a conversation before I left and one on my second hike. Yes, I was tired when I pressed "Record" Go grab a snack, a cup of tea and join me; as I tell you why I am I Solo traveler.
