How I Learned to Travel Solo — and How You Can Too

Gain the foundational skills and confidence to travel solo before leaving town.

When I took my first solo trip, I was terrified. 

Most people won’t admit to this, everyone is anxious and scared when they start solo travelling.

I almost turned around at the airport, ready to give up before I’d even started. 

But as I was frozen to the ground, thinking…. going through the option of either turning around and going home, or walking through the departure doors….. 

 I reminded myself that i can do this, I do have the skills, I’ve been doing everything solo in my home town, i know i can carry myself through any environment and situation on my own…  I’ve got this.  

Walking through those departure doors was one of the best decisions of my life. 

Since then, I’ve travelled alone all over the world — and I’ve met so many people who want to do the same but feel held back by fear or uncertainty. 

Many people tell me that I am “brave”, I must be very brave to travel solo. Its not about being brave, its about having the skills and confidence, the self-trust and street smarts, and the solo traveller mindset identity.  

That’s why I created my eBook course, Solo Travel for Beginners – Level 1. It’s not a travel guide — it’s a confidence-building program you can start right where you are. 

You’ll learn: 

  • How to shift your mindset from fear to freedom and identify as a solo traveller 
  • Simple solo challenges to practice in your hometown until you are confident 
  • How to enjoy your own company without feeling awkward. 

The best part? You don’t need to book an expensive trip or take time off work. These skills can be built gradually, on your own schedule. 

If you’ve ever dreamed of the freedom to travel alone, or even to just dine alone, this course is your first step. Your solo travel story can start today — and I’d love to help you write it. 

Solo travel means you can do what you want, when you want to, how you want to! you are unstoppable! “

Enjoy the journey,
