Do you remember your first solo trip abroad? Recall that memory for a moment.
The idea had only been a figment of your imagination, then reality. Your first step to traveling solo.
You’d done the planning and research. You read books to learn about your destination. You may have asked family and friends for travel advice. Saved your hard-earned money. 💰
Finally, the day arrives. Time to spread your wings and take off.

How did you feel? Excitement, nervousness, fear? Or a combination? Words didn’t do justice to the emotions you felt. The experience was more than you ever imagined.
The unknown, being outside your comfort zone. Testing your resilience and strength.
Arriving somewhere where no-one knew you. No judgement or expectations. Being whoever you wanted to be. Losing and finding yourself.
The experience may have been exhilarating and intimidating. You were different when you returned. The experience was life changing.
Haven’t traveled solo? Be brave, take a chance and go for it! You can do it!
This is your story and you’re about to write the first of many wonderful chapters. The world is waiting for you. 🫶
Happy travels!
