Solo Travel for Women Over 50

Solo travel has huge upsides — cultural immersion, introspection, independence — but all too often, women are talked out of going it alone. Join JourneyWoman CEO Carolyn Ray and travel expert Lisa Friend for a how-to guide on solo female travel, from fending off fear to identifying the best destinations for first-timers. Together, we discuss the perspective-broadening potential of solo travel, share tips for packing with just a carry-on suitcase, and cover how to manage phones and technology on the road. Along the way, we hear Carolyn's and Lisa's favorite solo travel memories! - JourneyWoman Website: https://journeywoman.com/ - JourneyWoman Articles on Solo Travel for Women: https://journeywoman.com/type-of-travel/solo-travel-for-women-50/ - JourneyWoman Mailing List (Plus “Slow Travel for Women” E-Book): https://journeywoman.kit.com/rick-steves - Rick’s “Europe Through the Back Door” Travel Skills Handbook: https://store.ricksteves.com/shop/p/europe-through-the-back-door - Lisa’s Packing Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KqmyepfrSo - Keukenhof Gardens: https://keukenhof.nl/en/ - Luna Simone Hotel: https://www.lunasimonehotel.com/ - London School of Economics Dorms: https://stayatlse.co.uk/ - Follow Rick Steves’ Europe on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ricksteveseurope - Follow Rick Steves’ Europe on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ricksteveseurope/?hl=en - Follow Rick Steves’ Europe on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ricksteveseurope?lang=en - Upcoming Monday Night Travel Shows: https://www.ricksteves.com/mnt - Planning a trip to Europe?
