Feeling terrified at the thought of travelling alone doesn't mean solo travel isn't for you, it just means you're human...

What This Episode Covers

In this episode, I'm talking about why solo travel fear feels so overwhelming, and why that fear is so much more normal than social media makes it seem.

We cover why fear thrives on the unknown and why your brain treats an unfamiliar solo trip as a threat by default, my own (very unglamorous!) story of nearly talking myself out of my first solo trip to Switzerland, whether solo travel anxiety ever actually goes away, and why feeling scared to travel alone as a woman doesn't mean you're not brave enough.

If you've ever typed "why am I so scared to travel alone" into Google at 2am, wondered whether you can travel with anxiety, or found yourself asking whether solo female travel anxiety is even normal, this episode is for you!

What This Episode Covers

If you've ever wanted to travel solo but the fear of panicking in another country has stopped you, this episode is for you.

In this episode of The Anxious Solo Female Traveller, I'm sharing my exact panic plan for solo travelling with anxiety, the practical things I do before every trip, and the mindset shifts that have helped me travel to 24 countries solo - even with anxiety and social anxiety.

Because the truth is, solo travel didn't cure my anxiety.

I still overthink.

I still get nervous.

I still have moments where I wonder why I booked the trip in the first place.

But I've learnt that anxiety abroad is still anxiety. The coping skills you've built at home don't suddenly disappear when you get on a plane.

And honestly, I think that's something really comforting to remember.

Have you been telling yourself you'll travel solo when you're less anxious, more confident, or finally feel "ready"?

What This Episode Covers

In this episode of The Anxious Solo Female Traveller, we're talking about why waiting to feel "ready" is the real thing holding you back - and why you don't have to become fearless before you book that first trip!

As someone who's travelled to 24 countries solo while living with anxiety and social anxiety, I know exactly what it's like when your brain is convinced that absolutely everything is going to go wrong.

The overthinking.

The worst-case scenarios.

The urge to cancel everything and stay home with a cup of tea instead.

But over the last five years, I've learnt something really important:

You don't have to get rid of your anxiety to see the world.

You can learn to travel WITH it instead.

In this episode, we're chatting about why confidence comes after action, why anxiety is actually trying to protect you, and the question that completely changed how I approach solo travel fears.

I'm Katie, a solo female traveller who has visited 24 countries over the last five years, all while living with anxiety and social anxiety.

And no, solo travel didn't magically cure me.

I still get anxious.

I still question why I booked each trip in the first place.

But I go anyway.

Because I've learnt that you don't have to wait until you're fearless to see the world. You can learn to travel WITH your anxiety instead.
