Ten years ago, Janice tried to find someone -- anyone -- to accompany her on a trip to southern Utah to explore the mystery of slot canyons. Not only would no-one go with her (she didn't take it personally at the time, but now she's beginning to wonder...), everyone she spoke to tried to talk her out of it. "It's too dangerous! It's too weird! Your joints are creaky - what are you thinking?"

She nearly succumbed to their uninformed yet well-intentioned warnings, but decided instead to don her big girl panties and head out to the slot canyons by herself. "The best thing that ever happened to me, aside from dark chocolate, was I had to take that trip alone." That was 1998, and Janice has been addicted to solo travel ever since.

"The best thing that ever happened to me, aside from dark chocolate, was I had to take that trip alone." That was 1998, and Janice has been addicted to solo travel ever since. More than a decade later she realizes that solo travel gave her priceless gifts. "Travelling alone changed me. It changed the way I look at life and at my future. To be able to share these epiphanies with others is also a gift."

Whether it's through personal coaching sessions or via the pages of Only Pack What You Can Carry, Janice is committed to sharing her insights about what it means to live the life you want to live. Just don't ask her to share her chocolate...

She was also named “Woman of the Year” in 2006 by the Gaston Women’s Commission honoring her achievements and leadership in the community.
