Biography
Founder, The Solo Traveler Project

Media line: 1-416-388-6694
A love of travel, personal loss and an empty nest all conspired for Janice to begin Solo Traveler in 2009. Resonating with thousands of readers, the blog quickly went from personal to public and the Solo Traveler Project began.
This blog, interviews in the media, speaking gigs including The Smithsonian Institute, the amazing Solo Travel Society on Facebook, a solo traveler’s manifesto called Glad You’re Not Here and, most recently, The Solo Traveler’s Handbook all connect those who love and those who long to go solo.
Janice weaves tales from her trips with practical tips to ignite keynote speeches about traveling solo, living a great life single, personal resilience, and finding success as a location-independent entrepreneur.
Janice is co-founder of the Global Bloggers Network, an online resource for bloggers and the Toronto host for Meet Plan Go, an event to inspire people for long term travel. In addition to writing on travel, she also has a writing practice specializing in articles and guides on small business management. Prior to Solo Traveler, Janice started, built and sold a small business.
