The nice thing about this is that you get the excitement and experience of solo travel with the comfort of going home at night. Choose a destination 45-90 minutes from home, either driving or if you’re lucky enough to have public transportation options, taking a train or bus. Itinerary ideas for this option could include: Visiting a museum you’ve really been wanting to explore in the larger city near you (don’t sleep on the cafe and gift shop!) Wandering in a nearby town with an abundance of antique stores or art galleries. Again, bonus points for striking up conversation with the owners, artists, or people working, if it’s not too busy. I promise you, they often have amazing stories behind their art or the antiques they’ve curated. Exploring a nearby hike or natural feature like a waterfall or swimming hole. Bring a picnic, a blanket, and your journal or sketchbook and really savor the peace that comes with being in nature. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605d1acb5f99c94314b0eb16/a8e6a3b8-364f-4284-a97f-3b2742766872/Image.jpeg Blog - How To Ease Into Solo Travel (if you’re feeling nervous to start) - Solo Morning or Afternoon Adventure For this adventure, you’re going to make plans to take a few hours to yourself doing an activity that you really enjoy or that you’ve been wanting to experience but haven’t gotten any takers on a buddy to go with you. Now is your time! Example itineraries might be: going to a new coffee shop and then taking a wander through the farmers market on a Saturday morning (bonus points for making conversation with the vendors if it’s not too busy!) perusing a local bookstore followed by a cafe for an afternoon snack and diving in to your new book. If you’re uncomfortable spending time alone at all, this could be a great place to start. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605d1acb5f99c94314b0eb16/abbf42e0-ee32-4b99-ad42-ad45ffcadfe2/Image+1.jpeg Blog - How To Ease Into Solo Travel (if you’re feeling nervous to start) - Attend a Retreat or Join a Group Travel Experience This is my absolute top recommendation for a first solo international trip. You’re going to attend a retreat or learning experience or join a group trip. Some examples of this might be a yoga retreat, surf camp, art or culinary workshops, or language schools. You could also join a group trip tailored to your specific interests and lifestyle. You arrive solo but have an instant community of likeminded people. Depending on the structure, you’ll have scheduled group activities but likely plenty of opportunities for solo adventuring as well. As I mentioned, this is my personal top recommendation for a first international solo trip and it’s actually the exact strategy I used. In 2016, I went on my first solo international trip to Mexico where I participated in a stand-up paddle board yoga retreat. It was the perfect bridge between group and solo travel. We had yoga classes every day, scheduled group paddle board sessions, and some shared meals. But there were also optional excursions, meals on your own, and it was walkable to a main avenue of Tulum for shops and restaurants. Lodging was right on the beach, so there was always the option of a solo beach day. As a solo traveler joining a group experience, I was able to socialize when I wanted to, but also take opportunities to stretch my comfort zone through some solo activities. I also made new friends who I stayed in touch with long after the retreat ended. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605d1acb5f99c94314b0eb16/ad087668-1cc3-473f-b6ea-824fe0162d87/IMG_7120.jpeg Blog - How To Ease Into Solo Travel (if you’re feeling nervous to start) - Ask around to see if you have any connections in your destination As you’re making your travel plans, ask around to see if anyone has connections in the city where you’ll be traveling. Or at least, share your plans as much as you’re comfortable within your network. You might be pleasantly surprised to learn that a friend of a friend lives in the city where you’re heading. The mutual friend can make the connection and you might end up making plans with a new friend. It’s also nice just to know that you have someone local you could reach out to if you really needed help. When I was in Mexico City, a friend noticed I was there from an Instagram post. She reached out letting me know she had a friend who lived in the city if I wanted to meet up with her. We ended up grabbing coffee and decided to hang out a couple more times from there over the course of the month that I was in Mexico City, even celebrating my birthday together with a dinner and drinks. It was so lovely to make a new friend and have someone I could go out with. (Fun fact - the mutual friend who reached out and connected us was a woman I had befriended on a stand-up paddle board yoga retreat eight years prior!) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605d1acb5f99c94314b0eb16/1745033098290-JIYZ2I3QPJHGINPEVO0U/IMG_2813.jpeg Blog -

Do you resist the uncertainty of what awaits you when you step off the plane into a totally different culture? Is there a fear of loneliness or anticipated discomfort when connecting with new people? Do you need to create or strengthen routines and rituals to help you thrive and feel your best while exploring new destinations? Do you need more knowledge on how to work effectively while traveling? Or are you simply overwhelmed by the options available to you and you have no idea where to even begin? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605d1acb5f99c94314b0eb16/066f1af5-c661-4317-b365-1ce6799a492a/unsplash-image-n_a_20H-DVM.jpg Transition to Nomad Consultation - Who are you? Living your most joyful and authentic life is a priority. You have a strong desire to take your life on the road, either short or long term (a month to indefinitely). You need a little support with some part of the process of going nomadic, whether it is preparing to leave, the days around the actual transition, or settling in to your new location. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605d1acb5f99c94314b0eb16/030fe375-6d00-498a-8f3e-e59ea4cf8b09/IMG_5195.jpg Transition to Nomad Consultation - Who am I?
