Anna Lardinois began her career as a teacher who, as she admits, lived a very limited life with fear. However, through solo travel, so many doors have opened for her, that the feelings of ‘not being good enough’ have slowly gone away. Everybody has fears to overcome, and solo travel is an excellent way to rediscover yourself and pivot! Anna now hosts haunted historical walking tours in the city of Milwaukee. All because she took a leap and traveled alone!
