Oh hi there.

I’m Stephanie, and welcome to my Substack page ‘I came. I Saw. I Napped.’ A travel and lifestyle page where wanderlust meets well-deserved naps. I'm a solo female traveler who’s been globetrotting for the past ten years - camera in one hand, passport in the other, and always a snack within reach. Along the way, I’ve turned my love of storytelling and photography into a a hobby that celebrates the joy, chaos, and occasional absurdity of travel.

Here, you’ll find real talk and real tips - on everything from navigating the world as a plus-size Black woman to finding the best boutique hotel with 1000-thread-count sheets and solid Wi-Fi. Subscribe and expect destination guides, hotel reviews, travel hacks, gorgeous photo diaries, and the occasional pop culture listicle because I believe Beyoncé and boarding passes can coexist beautifully.

So, whether you're planning your next solo trip or just here for the vibes - welcome. Let’s roam, rest, and repeat
