Scared to book your first solo trip? I'm solving the exact fears holding you back — feeling out of place, dining alone, staying safe — with everything I've learned from years of traveling on my own.

Most of my travel has been solo. Not because I prefer it, but because when I had the time and money, my friends usually didn't. So I stopped waiting on other people. In this solo episode, I'm breaking down exactly how I do it, from choosing your travel style to handling the moment strangers sit down at your table.

If you're ready for your first solo trip, DM me. I'd love to walk you through it, from planning to landing home. 

TOPICS DISCUSSED:

• The three ways I travel solo: fully independent, guided trips with a private driver, and small group tours with strangers
• Why grocery stores are my favorite way to understand a new culture (and how I scored cheaper argan oil in Morocco)
• Getting past the "am I out of place?" fear — and why nobody's actually watching you
• My dining-alone trick that always works: bring a book
• How I check travel safety before I go: STEP (U.S.) and ROCA (Canada) advisory programs
• Passport and visa checks every traveler needs before booking
• Why solo travel builds self-trust, confidence, and total freedom over your schedule

BEST MOMENTS:

"Every single time I have been lost in another country, I have gotten just the most amazing people to give me directions."

"All that awkwardness is all you and is in your head."

"It's the ultimate self care. It's your personal power to just do it and build that muscle."
