Solo travel can feel exciting, empowering… and at the same time terrifying - especially if it’s something you’ve never done before. If you’ve been dreaming about booking that trip but have some reservations - fear not!

This week on the pod, I’m joined by Rikkell, the creator behind @yoursolotravelbestie, who’s built a community around encouraging women to travel solo with confidence. From first-time nerves to embracing freedom, Rikkell shares her honest experiences and what she loves about going abroad alone.

✨ In this episode, we chat about:

• The biggest fears and misconceptions that stop women from solo travelling
• Safety while travelling alone and how identity can shape your experience
• How to budget, plan, and find the best deals for solo trips
• Tips for someone planning their first solo adventure
