Why Travel Solo?
Encouragement, perspective, and the benefits of going it alone.
Key Takeaways + Lived Insights:
1. Personal Growth + Confidence
My feral take: There’s something empowering about standing alone in a new city, unsure at first, but growing stronger with every step.
2. Freedom + Flexibility
My feral take: The freedom to linger at a lazy café or change plans on the fly is where solo travel often feels most magical to me.
3. Connection with Others and Yourself
My feral take: When I travel alone, I’m far more intentional and that leads to deeper conversations, local connections, and discovering parts of myself that only come out when I'm solo.
4. Overcoming Fears + Challenging Norms
My feral take: Solo travel isn’t always about escaping, sometimes it’s about breaking inertia, claiming your agency, and returning renewed.
5. Self-Discovery + Intention
My feral take: Solo travel isn’t a one-size-fits-all. Sometimes it's quiet celebration; other times it's soulful exploration. And other times, sharing the journey is exactly the point.
