Leslie Dixon didn’t just study wildlife—she lived it. In South Africa, she worked with rhinos, cheetahs, and even chaotic hornbills (known for slashing tires!). But alongside the breathtaking encounters came ethical dilemmas and cultural revelations.

In this episode, Leslie talks about the beauty and complexity of conservation work, the lessons she learned about privilege and perspective, and how these experiences shaped her future. Her story is a raw, eye-opening look at the lessons study abroad can teach you beyond the classroom, that will stick with you for a lifetime.

If you met me in the past few years you might be shocked to hear that I wasn’t always confident. In fact, I used to spiral over something as simple as purchasing underwear in department stores. But through solo travel, I learned how to face my fears—I practiced quieting my doubts and showing up as the boldest version of myself! And now it’s second nature.

This episode is all about building confidence, starting with small wins and embracing the mindset of “delusional confidence.” From practical tips to personal stories, I’ll walk you through how solo travel became my ultimate growth tool.  If you’re ready to stop doubting yourself, this episode will help you take the first step toward a braver you!

Check out my Delusional Confidence Workbook if you need an even deeper dive into building your confidence to do anything, including travel solo!

At 17, I took my first solo trip to Iceland: completely unprepared but filled with an unwavering instinct to challenge myself and change. From ridiculous missteps like forgetting a sleeping bag to life-changing moments crossing icy rivers, the adventure tested my resilience and revealed the power of stepping into discomfort. In this inaugural episode of the Young Travelers Podcast, I share the reality of being the youngest, least experienced, only person of color on my trek. I  talk about facing culture shock, and pushing past physical and mental limits.

This episode explores why solo travel is about growth, not perfection, and how even the toughest experiences can be the stories you most enjoy telling years later!

If you’re curious about solo travel but nervous about making mistakes, I hope my story inspires you to stop overthinking and just make the leap today.

Check out my blog post with 50 Safety Tips for Solo Female Travelers before you go off on your big adventure!
