Bethany Bartley

Howdy! I'm Bethany, a 50-something solo traveler based in Tampa, Florida. When I'm not on a ship (river cruises and smaller ocean cruises are my favorites), I'm probably planning a road trip closer to home...I've made it to 39 states so far, too. By day, I'm a travel advisor specializing in premium and luxury travel. By evening, you'll usually find me with a cross-stitch project or a good book.
