Solo travelling ruined my life – and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. 🌍✈️

When I first booked that one-way ticket to New Zealand, I thought travel would magically solve all my problems. Instead, I got six weeks of loneliness, restless hostel-hopping, public transport disasters and way too much small talk. 🚌💤

But then something changed. A stranger sat down next to me in a hostel garden in Picton – and that conversation shifted my entire perspective. From there, solo travelling stopped being a burden and became the best thing that ever happened to me.

Since then, I’ve learned that travel doesn’t fix your problems – it magnifies them, forces you to face them, and pushes you to grow in ways you didn’t think were possible. And yes, it ruins your old life – because once you’ve experienced that freedom, you can’t go back to “normal” again.

This episode is about the highs, the lows, the breakdowns, and the breakthroughs that solo travelling brought into my life. Maybe it’ll ruin yours too 😉

In this episode:
✨ The shitty first 6 weeks in NZ

Solo travelling won’t solve your problems – but it will change you. 🌍🎒
