If you’ve ever heard the song “Red Solo Cup” by the late, great country singer Toby Keith, the melody and the name stays in your head. One weekend in the fall of 2023, I was thinking of developing a website based on my solo travel experiences, and to provide advice and commentary to inspire others to do the same. And I had an “aha” moment while listening to that song, the website was born and here we are!

What Won’t You Find?
I don’t do travel itineraries. You should explore and travel in your own way. I’m not a travel agent, and I don’t pretend to be one. I share my travel experiences as I live them, and it’s really that straightforward. You, as the reader, can take away whatever resonates with you. Travel is all about personal preferences—some people love the beach, others crave adventures, and some are all about museums. I’m just here to share my journey in hopes of inspiring you to create your own.
I also stick to genuine, honest and authentic reviews. I pay for my own trips and never ask for or accept any reimbursement for my travel costs. I do this because I’m passionate about traveling and sharing my stories. If I ever get paid for something, you’ll definitely know about it.
Who Am I?
My name is Louis Siering IV and I’m happy to guide you! I have spent over a decade traveling for work and leisure and I want to inspire others to step out of their comfort zone. I’m a full time insurance professional who has worked in the business for almost 20 years, starting out in claims and working into the underwriting world. I earned a Bachelors in Secondary Education in History through Central Connecticut State University, and a Masters in Business Administration through Albertus Magnus College. Recently, I earned a Learning Design Certification through Louisiana State University. Other than traveling, I’m a big fan of the New York Mets and the Green Bay Packers, I have a casual interest in NASCAR and Formula 1 too, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, movies, visiting various breweries and wineries, playing golf, walking repurposed rail trails and building Lego sets. I have a Seinfeld and Japanese Garden set that are on my list to build! I live in Central Connecticut, and you can find me on social media @redsolotraveler.

My wife’s brother just had his very first flight yesterday from Mexico City to Chile. I’ll tell him about some of these tools. He’ll be studying abroad down there for a few months. Cheers!
Louis – sound safety tips. Your GIFs were pretty fun too. P.s. I too hate being tracked 🙂
I like these travel posts, Louis – simple and effective, and they remind me of my business trips as well.
Love your pictures they’re hilarious! 😂 I agree with all the good tips!
Well- written, and comprehensive!
Some excellent tips here, Louis. I agree with you
Thanks for the savings via “flight first”, and checking in 24hrs ahead. Will try this on my next trip coming up soon
