Wanderlust at 35+

In this episode, we're diving into the party scene while traveling solo, especially for those of us 35+ who still love to go out and have fun. I share my personal experiences, from pub crawls to solo club nights, and debunk the stereotype that age should limit our nightlife. Whether you're feeling intimidated by solo adventures or concerned about fitting in, I’ve got tips on how to approach people, stay safe, and fully enjoy yourself. If you’ve ever felt like you’re too old to hit the club or wondered what it's like to party while traveling alone, this episode will inspire you to embrace your freedom and live your best party life abroad.

So throw on that party outfit, grab a drink, and let’s go!

Solo travel is trending and it's not just for singles! Having done my fair share of travels while in a relationship, I can tell you there are a lot of nuances to cover to ensure a fantastic trip and to maintain a healthy relationship. But spoiler alert: it's worth it! IMO solo travel offers you opportunities that will not have the same impact when you're traveling with a partner.

In this Dating Diaries episode, I'm going to share some loving words of wisdom as an experienced traveler and Mindset Coach on why you should book that solo trip even if you're in a relationship. Let's bust the myth that something must be wrong in your relationship if you want to travel solo and own your solo trip with confidence while respecting your relationship.

Breaking up is hard to do, especially when you know there are so many good qualities within the relationship. Compatibility is key and sometimes the timing is just off, as is the case with my relationship with one of my favorite travel credit cards.

In this Posh on a Penny episode, listen in as I share why I've ended things, why this is still likely a great relationship for YOU, and what to consider if you're thinking about putting it to an end. I also share what will fill that space in your wallet so you aren't left unprepared to forge ahead with confidence and points of course.
