What if the thing you’ve been craving… isn’t just a vacation—but a complete reset?

In this episode, Tess sits down with HerHouse host Gina, based in the stunning Coromandel Peninsula of New Zealand, to talk about solo travel, healing, and what it really looks like to step into a new version of yourself through adventure.

• Why solo travel can be one of the most transformative experiences of your life
• Gina’s story of backpacking solo at 40 (and why it changed everything)
• How travel helps you rebuild confidence after difficult life seasons
• The difference between “running away” vs. running towards something better
• What it’s really like to stay with locals (and why it creates deeper experiences)
• Hidden gems in New Zealand you won’t find on Google
• Why connection—not age—is what truly matters when traveling

If New Zealand has been on your bucket list… this is your sign.

Gina shares what it’s like to live in a peaceful, nature-filled part of the North Island—and why getting off the beaten path is where the real magic happens.
