Why Solo Travel Is the Most Empowering Thing You’ll Ever Do for Yourself
Why do I solo travel? It’s the question I get in my DMs more than any other. The truth is, it isn’t always easy. Yes, it can be lonely, intimidating, and even a little chaotic at times. But it’s also the most liberating, perspective-shifting, and life-affirming thing I’ve ever done for myself.
In this episode, I’m making the case for why everyone should take a solo trip, whether it’s a weekend getaway or a year-long adventure. I share the 12 biggest lessons that travelling alone has taught me: from breaking free of the “blueprint,” to learning self-reliance, deepening emotional resilience, opening yourself up to unexpected connections, and becoming the kind of person who trusts themselves fully.
If you’ve ever dreamt of booking a trip but felt too scared, or if you’ve been wondering whether solo travel is really worth it, this episode is for you. I’ll also leave you with a few journal prompts to help you uncover whose blueprint you’ve been living by, when you feel most like yourself, and what dreams you’ve been putting off.
Because once you experience the freedom of solo travel, you’ll never settle for a life that feels small again.
PS… this episode is based on a chapter of my book, Untethered: A Beginner’s Guide to Solo Travel. Check it out here.
