In this Digital Nomad episode, we're diving deep into the ups, downs, and downright hilarious moments of solo travel, sharing some of my personal confessions as a solo traveler. You’ll hear all about the liberating freedom that comes with traveling alone and the challenges that come with loneliness, the awkwardness of dining solo, and those stressful moments when you’ve got no one to lean on during travel mishaps.

And of course, what would a solo travel episode be without a few lol moments? I share some of my most ridiculous and funny experiences while navigating the world solo. Whether you’re already a solo travel pro or just considering your first solo adventure, I’ve got some stories that’ll make you laugh, feel inspired, and remind you that even imperfect moments make for the best memories.
