Packing a suitcase for a solo trip brings its own set of butterflies, especially the first time. I know that feeling well. As a woman over 45, planning to travel on my own made me question everything: Am I too old? Is it safe to meet new people abroad? Will I get lonely? But soon […]
I never thought loneliness would be something I’d wrestle with in midlife. But once my daughter was grown, routines settled in, and friendships shifted, I realized how quiet life had become.

There’s unique freedom in booking a room or an Airbnb just for yourself, but traveling alone can bring up real safety questions, especially for women.

For many women over 50, solo travel isn’t just a hobby it’s a deeply personal, soul-nourishing pursuit. It’s about claiming space, […]
As a woman over 50, traveling alone for the first time feels like starting a new chapter in a favorite book. There’s a mix of excitement, nerves, and a sense of newfound independence. Focus on your dreams and desires, not what others expect, even if society suggests you’ve lost your opportunity; this moment is about […]
Dining alone while traveling is gaining traction among women over 50, and I see why. For many of us, the idea of eating alone evokes a mix of curiosity and unease. Will people stare? Will it feel awkward? The truth is that enjoying a meal by yourself can be a chance to recharge, observe life, […]
