About Alicia Valenski

Carry on.

As in hand luggage.

As in, “Go on, continue sharing your story, I’m listening. ”

As in, “Keep going, you’ve got this. ”

A short phrase, but one that encompasses so much—travel and mental health and connection all tangled up together, as is so often the case for me.

I’ll be honest: I’m here because I’m tired of reading travel recommendations from writers who don’t know how it feels to navigate the world as a neurodivergent person or as a part of the queer community.
