I just got back from a solo trip in Europe, and I have to agree with you – I feel very empowered and independent after doing this trip. A solo trip also restores some faith in humanity too. Everywhere I went, I was able to meet nice people willing to help, and I want to pay this forward to whoever travel to my hometown.

Love,
SK

It is so well written and inspiring Megan. And I will add that it is never too late to travel alone. It is the perfect self discovery adventure. My husband who turned 50 this year is currently on a solo trip around the US (well he’s not entirely alone, he has our dog Mabel along for the ride). He quit his job working in a cube of 10 years and said enough is enough. Not having a concrete plan for each and every day is entirely out of his element. He has a difficult time striking up conversation with strangers. He wants to be a writer but fear taking care of a family came first. This is the trip to try new things, see new places and meet new people. He is stretching himself everyday and I can’t wait to see the person that returns. So much of what you said Megan, I know he is saying to himself.
In another year and a half, I will turn 50 and plan to have my turn and travel for a month alone in France…and wherever else the wind carries me!

There’s so much to learn! Cheers, Amy.

Thanks for the extra motivation and the reminder of why we all should!

I am preparing for a solo Europe trip next Spring, and this post has done nothing but encourage me to do it! Some have given me a sideways look when I said I was going to go on my own, but my closest friends have been super supportive. I’m so excited!

Damn, Megan – that’s awesome! You’re right: there’s nothing to lose.

I had the absolute time of my life. It was so refreshing doing what I wanted to do and nothing I didn’t want. I love the way you frame this post and it had me smiling the entire time!

It blew people’s mind that I would do something like that after just getting married… but it made me such a better person that I came home and brought that new and improved person back into my marriage. Book the flight, then go. There is nothing to lose!!!!

I feel like it’ll really help me get out of my comfort zone and teach me how to be more confident without depending on my husband or friends while traveling. Is there any specific place you would recommend as a good place to go for a first time solo traveler? Curious to know if some places are better than others for a first timer.

Agreed! There’s a time/place to travel solo and a time/place to travel with someone. But I *especially* love being abroad alone – it puts you in a position to meet more folks from anywhere/everywhere, who (bonus!) then invite you to birthday parties. xx

Solo time in London sounds like a DREAM. Here’s betting you’re going to love it – bon voyage!

I’m traveling to Portugal next week to meet up with some friends, but I have an eight hour layover in London first. I’m terrified! I’ve never traveled overseas alone, but this makes me feel a little bit better. I also bought a map of London and highlighted/circled all the things I wanted to see and the tubes I needed to get there.

I was in Montreal by myself and met so many great strangers, was invited to birthday parties and trivia nights. A barista told me that she liked “tripping” and then I had to clarify that traveling and tripping aren’t necessarily the same thing (though sometimes they are).

It has it’s place but it can be the best way to travel, just like traveling with a partner can be the best way to travel.

But reading this has made it seem all the more realistic to me 🙂

You learn so many new things. Definitely an experience anyone should have!
