About 2.5 years ago, my friend Liv connected me with Vaishali Patel, who had begun working on her book SOLO EXPLORERS, in which she would share the stories of 30 women from different backgrounds and in different stages of their lives. The one thing they had in common:
They all went on a solo trip that changed their lives, whether through a conversation, a workshop, a person, or a task they set out to do.
In this episode, Vaishali and I are talking about
- what female solo travelers have in common
- what fears we face and how to overcome them
- how to make friends
- and how to start solo traveling if you've never done it before.
Vaishali also shares the inspiring stories of some of the women in her book.
Listen to be inspired for your first or next solo trip <3
