Welcome to Red Solo Traveler
What is Red Solo Traveler?
Red Solo Traveler caters to the independent traveler who wants to explore the numerous destinations and experiences that the United States of America has to offer.
Independent Travelers can travel on their own, or with friends or family, and plan travel on their own doing their own research.
My passion for American history dates back to my youth, to the point where I nearly pursued a career as a history teacher. However, things took a different turn, and I found myself working full-time in the insurance industry instead. In the end, I found that I express my love for American history through my travels, exploring museums, historic mansions, national parks, and even baseball stadiums.
I’m here to guide you on this journey as I share my love of American history through experiences in travel.

Where Did the Name “Red Solo Traveler” Come From?
Have you ever come across the song “Red Solo Cup”? If you have, it’s a catchy tune from the late, legendary country artist Toby Keith, and its melody is so straightforward that it lingers in your head. One day while I was brainstorming ideas for this website, I considered names and decided to replace “cup” with “traveler”—and it instantly resonated with me - and here we are!

What Won’t You Find?
No itineraries! Independent Travel is meant to go your own way, and while it’s great to have a plan, sometimes the moment takes you somewhere else. I encourage you to slow travel, to open your mind and relax when traveling to savor the moment and enjoy your experience. My guides are meant to inspire you to think of and create your own experience through my personal experience of exploring these cities and places.
