In Episode 148 of The Thoughtful Travel Podcast I talk to three people who have done a lot of solo travel in all kinds of parts of the world and they all agree that including some solo travelling in the mix is absolutely worthwhile.</p>\r<p>My first guest is Alastair Humphreys who has done some very adventurous solo travel and finds it both soul-searching and rewarding. We talk in particular about one of his solo trips walking across India.</p>\r\n<p>Next up I chat with Justin Watson who, like me, thought at first that solo travel might be difficult; when he finally tried he was very glad he did.</p>\r\n<p>Finally, I speak with Michela Fantinel about one of her first solo travel experiences in New York City - since then she has gone on to do numerous solo trips and would thoroughly recommend it.</p>\r\n<p><b>Links:</b></p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Alastair Humphreys - <a href=\"https://www.alastairhumphreys.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.alastairhumphreys.com/</a> </li>\r\n<li>Alastair’s new book My Midsummer Morning - <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2JWNjDe\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">https://amzn.to/2JWNjDe</a> </li>\r\n<li>Justin - blog at Justin’s World <a href=\"http://www.justins.world\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.justins.world</a> </li>\r\n<li>Michela at Rocky Travel - <a href=\"https://www.rockytravel.net/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.rockytravel.net/</a> </li>\r\n<li>Join our Facebook group - <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/thoughtfultravellers\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.facebook.com/groups/thoughtfultravellers</a></li>\r\n<li>Show notes - <a href=\"http://notaballerina.com/148\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">https://notaballerina.com/148</a></li>\r\n</ul>","author_name":"Amanda Kendle"}
