She Didn’t Wait: Why Women Are Choosing to Travel Solo with Paula Barnes

from Thailand Adventure Secrets

What if the only thing standing between you and the trip you’ve been dreaming about is waiting for someone else to go with you? ...Hey, it happened to me. Don't let it happen to you.In this episode of Thailand Adventure Secrets, I sit down with my friend Paula Barnes, host of the Truly Expat Travel Podcast, to talk about a subject I’m passionate about: traveling solo.I say it all the time on this podcast: "just don’t wait to travel."Don’t wait for the perfect time. Don’t wait until everything in your life lines up. And especially, don’t put off seeing the world because you don’t have someone ready to travel with you.Paula brings her experience and perspective on women’s solo travel to our conversation. We talk about some of the fears and questions women have before taking that first trip alone, what they should really be thinking about, and the freedom that can come from finally deciding, “I’m going.”The link to Paula's Podcast: https://podcast.trulyexpattravel.com/We also talk about why solo travel doesn’t necessarily mean traveling alone. One of the great things about travel, especially here in Thailand, is how quickly strangers can become new friends.If Thailand has been on your list but something is holding you back, I’d love to hear from you. Send me your questions at [email protected]. Tell me what you’re worried about, what you want to experience, or what you need help figuring out. I’m happy to point you in the right direction.And if you want a little inspiration before you go, check out my book, Getting Lost in the Magic of Thailand: Island Hopping Down the Siam Spice Route. It’s about discovering Thailand through experiences, adventure, unexpected moments, and the people you meet along the way.To check out my book: https://www.thailandadventurenetwork.com/bookSawasdee,"Bangkok Bill" MullenP.S. - Travel Far, Connect Deeply, Live Fully!
