Travel isn’t just about ticking off bucket list destinations. It’s about shaping the kind of world we want to live in because where and how we spend our money truly matters. Our choices as travelers influence economies, local communities, and governments, often more than we realize.
That’s why there’s a politics section on this solo travel blog. Every trip you take is, in some way, a political act. When you decide where to go, how you spend, and what stories you share, you’re not just supporting a destination – you’re also reinforcing its systems, leadership, and values.
Travel is one of the most powerful ways to vote with your passport, your money, and your principles – especially when done collectively.
When it comes to standing up to oppression, racism, patriarchy, and authoritarianism, every traveler’s voice counts.
Now more than ever, being informed and intentional about those choices is essential.
Around the world, far-right extremism is spreading, fueled by powerful men and billionaires pushing ideologies that threaten human rights and global democracy. We’re witnessing a surge in anti-women, anti-DEI, anti-immigrant, and anti-trans policies, along with Christian Nationalism, techno-fascism, and attacks on attacks on freedom of speech, reproductive rights, and diversity. Our basic freedoms are under assault.
In the United States, a fascist regime led by a dictator mirroring Hitler and backed by Christian Nationalists, white supremacists and tech billionaires is reshaping society in deeply dangerous ways — and those threats don’t stop at America’s borders. Similar far-right movements are rising in Europe, Canada, and beyond.
History shows us what happens when religion and government intertwine: the loss of rights, persecution of minorities, widespread hatred, and the eventual collapse of free societies.
The Biggest Threat In America Is White Supremacy & Christian Nationalism
Christian Nationalism, white supremacists, and the dystopian ambitions from tech billionaires have long been downplayed – largely because the perpetrators are white men. Their plans and goals have also sounded too extreme to believe because they are so horrific. I once thought the same.
Even Project 2025 – Trump and the Republican Party roadmap for authoritarian control – once seemed too nightmarish to take seriously. Yet nearly half of its 900-page dominionist-meets-techno-fascist blueprint has already been implemented with minimal pushback beyond a few courageous Democratic Governors. When complete America will be a third world country mirroring Nazi Germany and Gilead (Handmaid’s Tale).
The truth is, everything I’ve researched—from Christian Nationalists ‘Seven Mountain Mandate’ to Curtis Yarvin and Peter Thiel’s techno-dystopian goals —isn’t just speculation. It’s happening now. And most Americans remain unaware. That’s deliberate. Authoritarian regimes depend on ignorance, distraction and polarization to consolidate power. They can only succeed fully when the people do not know what they are doing.
This transformation has been unfolding for over forty years—slowly enough that many people haven’t noticed it. But it could already be taking shape where you live too.
This space on the blog is dedicated to exploring how travel, politics, and personal choice intersect — and to helping readers stay aware, intentional, and empowered to defend democracy, equality, and human rights at home and abroad.
Fascism & Authoritarianism
“The road to Fascism is lined with those telling you to stop overreacting.”
Fighting Back Against Fascism & The Trump Regime
GOP Extremism
Power, Policy, And The Erosion Of Democracy
This section focuses on the radical shift within the Republican Party over the last few decades where they’ve gone from limited government, fiscal responsibility and democratic norms to religious extremism and authoritarianism. With a history of closely aligning with evangelicals, white supremacists and other far-right extremist groups, these posts examine how and why extremism has steadily shown up through legislation, culture wars, court appointments, and coordinated policy agendas, and why women’s rights, voting rights, and civil liberties are consistently on the front lines of that shift.
They have already stated that they want a theocracy.
Anyone who does not think the handmaids tale is not descriptive of republican control is either a liar or delusional.

Christian Nationalists & White Supremacy

What It Is, How It Works, And Why It Matters
Christian nationalism and white supremacy aren’t fringe ideas or separate movements. They are an organized political force with real influence on law, culture, and government. I’m building a series of posts that breaks these movements down from the ground up, starting with a clear beginner’s guide and moving into deeper dives on their ideology, key figures, policy goals, and how these beliefs shape legislation, education, reproductive rights, and immigration — and why women, minorities, and democracy itself are always among the first targets. This series also looks closely at how their presence has grown within Trump’s administration since 2015, the Project 2025 agenda, and the broader conservative political agenda to force Christianity on American life.
Billionaires & The Techno-Fascist Agenda
The 400 richest Americans are worth $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of Americans have a collective worth of $4.2 trillion.
So, just 400 Americans control significantly more wealth than half the Country’s population.
America has a very serious problem.
Power, Control, And The Future They’re Building
A small group of extremely wealthy men now wield outsized influence over politics, technology, labour, and public life — often without democratic oversight. In this upcoming series, I’ll be unpacking how billionaire power operates behind the scenes, from Silicon Valley to Washington, and why so many of today’s tech elites are drawn to authoritarian, anti-democratic, and openly regressive ideas. These posts explore the key players, their dystopian visions for society, how much progress they’ve already made, and how their interests increasingly align with Christian nationalism, gender repression, weakened labour rights, and the erosion of democratic accountability.
Why Billionaires Support The Trump Regime And Christian Nationalism
“The more religious a population is, the dumber they are. The dumber they are, the poorer they are.
The poorer they are, the more they breed, and we get ourselves a workforce”
Women’s Rights
August 26th, 1920 the 19th Amendment became law prohibiting denying the right to vote based on sex. Now, 105 years later the Republican Party wants to repeal the 19th Amendment and stop women from voting.
Women registered to vote in America are 51% Dems/ 44% Republican.
You can stop guessing their motivation now.
Women’s Rights, Power & Patriarchy
Women’s rights are often discussed as individual issues — abortion here, education there, violence somewhere else. But those issues are connected. Over the coming months, I’ll be publishing a deeper series of posts that examine patriarchy as a system of power — how it developed, how it protects itself, and why women’s autonomy is so often treated as a threat. This work focuses on patterns rather than outrage, and on understanding what’s happening beneath the headlines.
They waited 50 years to get Roe vs Wade overturned.

Russia Connections
Influence, Alignment, And Democratic Vulnerabilities
From political interference and propaganda to ideological alignment, this section looks at Russia’s role in undermining democratic systems beyond its borders. These posts explore how authoritarian strategies spread, why certain political movements are receptive to them, and how foreign influence exploits existing divisions around nationalism, gender, and power. As a President who’s had a relationship with Putin since the mid-80’s, this section also explores whether or not Trump can truly be referred to as a Russian asset, and how he’s been publicly supporting Russia since 2016.
Global Politics
Authoritarianism, Backlash, And Shared Playbooks
What’s happening in one country rarely stays there, and we’ve been seeing the impacts of Authoritarian Governments globally. This section places U.S. politics within a global context, examining how authoritarian movements learn from one another, how the far-right movement is growing and how religious extremism is affecting people all over the world. It highlights how women’s rights are rolled back worldwide to differing degrees while scapegoating minorities including immigrants and lgbtq, and why democratic backsliding follows familiar patterns across borders.
Travel Activism
Movement, Choice, And Power
Travel isn’t neutral, especially for women. This section explores how freedom of movement intersects with politics, safety, and human rights, and how choosing where and how we travel can reflect values around autonomy, inclusion, and accountability. These posts connect solo travel with larger questions about power, access, and resistance.
