Solo Travel at Midlife - Ep 43

Send us Fan Mail

Co-hosts Ellen and Tish love adventures and travel.  But at midlife, there are definitely times our partners or friends don't have the vacation time, the funds, or the desire to go to places we have always dreamed of going!    And after spending so much time in the past three years together with family many of us are looking to spread our wings and cross things off our bucket lists solo.  This week's podcast is all about traveling solo and exploring why solo travel is a great way for midlife women to build confidence, independence, and self-reliance. 

Tish and Ellen welcome experienced solo traveler Karen to the podcast.  Karen has taken over 25 solo trips in the US and outside of the US and she discusses the 'whys' and the 'hows' to embracing solo travel including the top concerns of safety, dining alone, and sightseeing solo.  She shares how she's managed travel challenges including losing a phone in an Uber in Buenos Aires, booking tickets for the wrong month, and how to combat loneliness when traveling alone!

Things we talked about in this episode:  Airbnb experiences, State Department travel advisories, small hotels, cross-body bags, hybrid trips, opera singer Courtney Mills, Cadence magnetic and refillable containers, Where  Rose Goes,  Buenos Aires, dancing, travel tips.
