Taking on the world by yourself can seem overwhelming, but if Eat, Pray, Love taught us anything it’s that solo travel can lead to some of our most liberating, life-changing experiences. 

This week we’re diving into one of our most frequently asked questions for our in-house globe trotter, Gill: How do I travel alone? Travelling solo might feel entirely out of your comfort zone, but the benefits of taking time to explore a new place (and yourself) on your own terms can be a serious game-changer for your mental well-being, confidence, and fulfillment. So buckle up, because we’re taking you on a journey through the good, bad, and best parts of flying solo!

Join us as we chat about:

• Gill’s epic trips and why she decided to travel on her own
• How travelling solo can be healing during hard times
• The importance of setting an intention for your trip
• How to keep the vacation sparks alive when you’re back home
• How to decide where you should go, and when
• Ways to combat loneliness when you’re on your own
• Tips for putting yourself out there and meeting new people
• Planning your trips with “possibilities” vs. a strict itinerary
• Key safety tips you need to know while travelling solo
• Gill’s brutal experience getting mugged in Lisbon

We hope this episode inspires you to take the leap and book your next solo trip! You won’t regret it.
