In this reflective solo episode, I explore how our travel behaviors shape the meaning and depth of our holiday experiences. From navigating group dynamics and compromising on activities, to overcoming fears around solo travel—especially for women in midlife—I invite listeners to pause and question the why behind their travels. We’ll also unpack the idea of moving beyond mass urban tourism to embrace authentic, sustainable experiences that connect us with local communities. What would it mean to plan a holiday not by what we should see, but by how we want to feel and who we wish to become in the process? Join me for a thoughtful journey into reimagining travel with purpose and presence.
