About

Welcome to Traveling in Heels an online destination for women who want to marry travel and style.

For those brave enough to follow me, I am Alexandra, a Miami native, part-time Bostonian and New York resident.

During my own voyages abroad, I found there was a lack of resources for women who wanted to travel safe, spontaneous and in style. Proactively, I documented my travel expeditions and created a platform to share them with others. Here you can find a collection of stories good and bad, funny and sad, all to prepare you for your own travels to come.

This blog is to also educate women of the opportunities available to us around the world. Travel gives both men and women the freedom and space for personal growth and enlightenment. I encourage others to plan their own escape domestic or abroad, short or long-term.

Lastly, thanks for stopping by the site. I appreciate all feedback. Feel free to email me with any questions or suggestions at alexavila77@gmail.com.

    Keep on Trucking and take your picture with as many orbs as you can. I hope all is well. Europe is Fantastic.

    Kudos! I have often felt awkward as a woman traveling alone in Europe (eating dinner by myself in Venice along the busy Rialto Bridge comes to mind…lots of stares, very unnerving) and this is a great reminder how rewarding a journey it can be. 6 months in Europe?! I’m so jealous!!! Enjoy :) Great blog!

      Thanks for your comment Californiagrace. At times it can feel unnerving, but its either sitting at home alone on the couch or sitting alone along the rialto sipping on a spritz. I think I know which one we prefer. I Hope i’ve motivated you to travel again with or without someone and if you do, as always safe travels and again thanks for the support.

    Looking forward to following you. My husband and I are on a 10 month trip right now. We’re only two months into it. Maybe we’ll run into each other! I added you to our blogroll today. Good luck!
