Solotravel Stories

Dr. Aarohi Sen lives a composed, carefully curated life - a respected pediatrician in Switzerland, emotionally reserved, fiercely independent, and quietly shaped by a childhood that taught her to grow up too early. Behind her professional calm lies an unspoken loneliness, softened only by fleeting moments of connection - with children who trust her, with memories she avoids naming, and with parts of herself she is slowly learning to understand. As Aarohi navigates therapy, emotional healing, and the quiet rhythm of her days, an unexpected presence enters her life - someone from a different world, carrying his own silences, his own disappointments, and his own complicated relationship with hope. The Space Between Us is a slow-burn contemporary novel about emotional distance, mental health, childhood wounds, cross-cultural encounters, and the fragile courage it takes to trust connection again. It explores imperfect hearts, gentle healing, and the unseen spaces that exist between people - where vulnerability, understanding, and quiet love often begin. For readers who appreciate soft romance, emotional realism, and stories that feel deeply human.

On a morning in early spring, as the sun's warmth chases away the prior night's frost and fresh buds are just beginning to bloom in window boxes, four travelers sit in a Parisian café. Each is at a different table, and each has a different story to tell. They barely acknowledge one other, too lost in their own thoughts to notice that those surrounding them aren't locals. Some are downing cups of coffee, some are eating pastries. Others are listening to the jazzy music plinking through a speaker from somewhere on their right, or reading the morning paper, which details the uplifting news of a dog being rescued from the Seine. But each is reflecting on their journey, and none of them would wish to be anywhere else. -- My entry for the Marriott Traveler #SoloTravel contest! -- NOTE: Cover image is from We Heart It (however, filter and text were added by me).

Traveling creates memories that last a lifetime with people you travel with and people you meet. However, travelling alone is another story. Creating memories alone is one that will shape who you become and who you discover inside. MARRIOTT TRAVELER CONTEST #SoloTravel

Pain. Something I know all too well. Boiling softly at your heart, then striking suddenly at the pit of your stomach. Hurt. Something that boils beneath you, slowly manipulating you to become something new. Pain and hurt are two very different things. Pain is torture, hurt is simple. Life is pain- but is pain life? That is why I travel. To numb the horrible pain from my misfortunes. I travel alone, to echo my hollow hurt beneath me. The only thing I want in return? Anything to take my pain away. Anything to give me a new memory. I will only go solo. Never with another. Forever in search of the perfect photo. Because like the one time I believed I was happy? Fate will have other plans.

Wandering: Adjective Travelling aimlessly from place to place When you travel, the stress overwhelms you. Have you packed everything? Have you got your boarding pass? Enough money? When you wander... you don't have to worry about anything. You can choose to forget. That's what I did. I chose to forget, and this is where I stand.
