How to Feel Safe, Strong & Seen When Traveling Alone✈️🧚🏻

Ep. 16

🎙️🐰 This is your sign to book that solo trip

Solo travel looks ✨aesthetic✨ on Instagram — but the real story lives in the quiet moments, the late-night walks , the unexpected panic 😅, the random conversations 💬, the small wins 🎉, and the heavy shifts that happen when you're thousands of kilometers away from everyone who knows your name.

In this episode, I take you inside the night traveling alone finally made sense to me. From navigating Tokyo’s chaos 🚆, to eating ramen at 3AM 🍜, to realizing what being alone actually feels like, this is the unfiltered solo-travel experience you don’t see online.

Fear.

Freedom.

Confusion.

Clarity.


If you've ever thought about taking a solo trip — or if part of you is scared to — this episode is your sign.
