She is an expert in navigating single travel, having visited many destinations abroad, including Italy, France, Sweden, and Ireland."I've met so many people where the connection wasn't necessarily romantic but was still meaningful and impactful in other ways. Connecting with other human beings from other places and cultures with different backgrounds and life experiences is really powerful. I still hold close many of the connections I've made along my travels, even if I haven't seen or spoken to the person again since." - Jesse BratterWhile on work trips, after her obligations are over, Jesse often extends her stay to explore further—sometimes taking unexpected turns that have led to magical experiences. (Like the time she and her friend Cara decided to take a train from Milan to Lake Como—where they had already been once before—but upon arriving at the train station discovered the trains were on strike. Instead, they ended up visiting Florence for the first time, as that was the only train still in operation. By the end of the day, they were in a completely different part of the country than where they thought they'd be when they had woken up that morning.)Jesse has many experiences traveling solo and, although she has an awareness of safety concerns and the language barrier can be an issue, she has learned lessons about being alert and trusting her intuition. On one solo trip to Stockholm, she even went on a Bumble date, which we chat about in this episode. Despite the uncertainty of being in an unfamiliar place, Jesse has found deeply meaningful experiences and connections worldwide.In this episode, you will learn the following:1.
