The Easiest Destinations For Your First Solo Trip (And Why "Easy" Isn't Boring) | Ep. 7

Choosing an "easy" destination for your first solo trip doesn't have to mean boring...✈️ EMAIL COURSE: 7 Days To Your First Solo Trip (Even If You're Anxious) → ⁠⁠https://whereskatienow.com/solo-female-travel-email-course/⁠⁠💛 Prefer to read along or revisit anything from today's episode? ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://whereskatienow.com/easy-solo-travel-destinations-for-anxious-beginners/---What This Episode CoversIn this episode, I'm talking through some of my favourite destinations for a first solo trip, and why "easy" is a far more useful filter than "exciting" when anxiety is part of the picture.We cover why the best first solo trip isn't the boldest one, the four things I actually look for when choosing anywhere solo (pace, transport, language barrier, safety reputation), and a proper mix of destinations for every comfort level — from English-speaking cities like Edinburgh and Gibraltar, to low-key towns like Montreux and Heidelberg, calm scenery in Stockholm and Bergen, and quieter coastal spots like Kotor and Korcula.If you've ever typed "best destinations for solo female travel beginners" into Google, wondered where's actually manageable for a first trip rather than just Instagrammable, or found yourself overwhelmed trying to choose somewhere, this episode is for you!---Other Resources Mentioned💛 Join my free Facebook community to connect with other anxious solo female travellers: ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/travelanywaysolofemaletravelwithanxiety⁠⁠🧳 Ready to actually plan your first trip?
