There’s something magical about traveling alone. When you’re on your own, every experience feels more vivid, every challenge turns into an adventure, and every interaction with a stranger becomes a meaningful connection. As a woman traveling solo in my fifties, I’ve collected a treasure trove of moments that have shaped the way I see the world—and myself.

Solo travel can feel daunting, especially for those of us who are navigating new phases in life—whether that’s post-divorce, becoming an empty-nester, retiring, or simply seeking a new kind of freedom. But I believe solo travel offers immense growth and fulfillment, and I want to be a guide for those ready to take the leap.
