Podcasts about traveling alone

Impact investing for women does not have to mean choosing between profit and purpose. Lucy Rogers built a global network connecting more than 3,000 family offices, investors, and founders by asking one simple question in every room she entered about what that person actually needed. On Getting Rich Together, host Syama Bunten sits down with Lucy to explore how that instinct became the foundation for a new model of values-based investing that is quietly outperforming expectations. Lucy's path was anything but conventional. She was expelled from two schools, dropped out of college at 17 to travel solo through Thailand, Australia, and New Zealand, and left university a second time to chase work experience instead of a degree. She bought her first flat at 24 through sheer discipline and eventually built a career spanning creative direction, entertainment, and capital. None of it followed a straight line, and that turned out to be exactly the point. The conversation gets into what family office investing looks like from the inside, how Lucy positions impact investments to skeptical investors without ever leading with the impact angle, and why the most oversubscribed deals in her network are increasingly backed by women in venture. Lucy shares the story of an investor who said he wanted nothing to do with climate, and how she got him to fund a climate company anyway. For anyone thinking seriously about impact investing for women and wealth building, this episode changes what it means to put capital behind values. The return data is catching up to the conviction. Lucy Rogers is proof that when you build from alignment, the numbers tend to follow. If this conversation sparked something, the next step is a room of your own.

Many retirees picture travel as the ultimate reward — the long-awaited trip, the scenic tour, the cruise booked for two. But what happens when you're ready to go and there's no one to go with you? Whether your partner doesn't want to travel, can't retire yet, or you're simply navigating this chapter solo, the dream of seeing the world can quickly feel complicated by logistics, costs, and unspoken worries about safety. But what if it's not? Travel advisor Alyssa joins Matt to explain why the conventional approach to travel often fails solo retirees — and what to do instead. She breaks down the real price of traveling alone, including the often-overlooked “single supplement” fee, and how certain cruise lines and tour groups are finally catering to solo travelers over 50. More than just tips, this conversation reveals how to find confidence, community, and security when you're the only one planning the trip.My website with more Medicare resources, books, courses, and more: https://prepareformedicare.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic_descriptionI recommend my wife's Medicare insurance agency, but there's never any obligation or pressure to work with her team.

Anxiety on traveling alone, taking test, living life - Revisit o'Hanlon art center in Mill Valley

Seeing the world as a solo traveler pushes you to show up in a way only you can, as your most authentic self. And while the experience can be daunting, it welcomes opportunities for self-exploration and discovery. To be pushed out of your comfort zone in a place that’s not your home is a gift filled with moments that are sure to sharpen and evolve your mental health. In new and unfamiliar environments, you’re forced to rely on your instincts, make decisions independently, and answer the question, “What do I want?” The clarity that comes with being alone in the noise of a new city is the kind of clarity that can be hard to find in the busyness of our day-to-day lives. It’s in those quiet moments that can reveal new parts of ourselves. This is the final episode in our series of bonus episodes, presented by our partners at Chase Sapphire Reserve, focusing on travel, mental health, and the power of putting joy at the center of your life. We hope you've enjoyed them. About the Podcast The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.

On this episode, we are joined by Susan Heinrich from Midlife Globetrotter. Susan is a Canadian writer living in Denver, Colorado. She is passionate about travel and supporting women in tourism. In 2020, she created Midlife Globetrotter, a website and platform that helps women over 40 follow their travel dreams to new places, with destination guides, practical tips and stories of her own adventures. Susan is passionate about reframing midlife as an opportunity, and explores themes of reinvention and self-discovery in her work.  You can follow Susan on Instagramand Pinterest. In this episode, we talk about group tours and group tour operators, especially those that offer group trips just for women. To learn more, see Susan's blog posts about: Women's tours around the world: https://midlifeglobetrotter.com/womens-tours/ How to select a small group tour: https://midlifeglobetrotter.com/how-to-select-a-small-group-tour/ Croatia group tour with Adventure Women: https://midlifeglobetrotter.com/a-womens-sailing-trip-in-croatia/ Episode Highlights Some things to think about when choosing a group tour include: What is the pacing of the trip -- is there any free time, how often do you switch hotels? What is the group size? Small group tends to be under 14 people. Small groups have advantages in terms of the type of accommodation and the size of the tour group when exploring cities What is the activity level? Some companies like Adventure Women and Adventures in Good Company specialize in active trips and offer detailed explanations of the activity level involved in the trip If you are traveling solo, you can also look for tours that are only solo travelers When you are evaluating a group tour, be sure to read the itinerary in detail. You can also call the tour operator and see if they can give you any information on how many solo travelers there might be versus those traveling with a friend or relative. Also look at what the single supplement is. Some companies like Girls Guide to the World have private rooms by default but typically group tours are priced based on double occupancy and if you want your own room they charge a single supplement. Some companies will pair you with another solo travel as a roommate if they don't charge a single supplement. Be sure to read through the documents to understand what is included in terms of transfers and meals Understand who is guiding the trip -- is it a local or a U.S.-based guide Make sure you understand the cancellation policy and buy travel insurance If you aren't sure if a group trip is for you, opt for a private room, start with a shorter trip, feel free to opt out of activities, and maybe start with a trip in the U.S. that doesn't require a more expensive airfare. If you just want to relax or if you don't like having scheduled activities, then a group tour may not be a good fit Good tour operators for budget travelers include G Adventures (now have tours for women and certain age groups) and Intrepid Travel (who have women expeditions to places where you can meet and interact with locals in a way that you couldn't if there were men on the trip) For a luxury trip, Girls Guide to the World is a good fit and Insight Vacations is upscale and have women-only trips For nature and wildlife, Natural Habitat Adventures partner with the World Wildlife Federation and are known for wildlife trips and have women's only expeditions Adventure Women is one of the first companies to get into women only tours and typically offer four-star accommodations with active adventures Backroads is known for cycling and hiking tours and offers some just for women and they have trips that accommodate a variety of activity levels each day There are also group tour operators focused on certain destinations like Viking Women in Iceland Another themed tour is the British Book Club Tour: https://thebookclubtour.com Susan is also co-hosting an art-history based trip to Paris this spring Some women-only focused travel companies and others that have women-only trips Next Chapter Travel - small group, curated trips in Europe Next Tribe - over 45 women Gals Abroad Getaways - luxury Untethered Expeditions - adventure Adventure Women - small group adventure Adventures in Good Company - active  Girls' Guide to the World - authentic, responsible (luxury) Sisterhood Travels - over 50 Country Walkers - walking/hiking Scout Escapes - mother daughter travel and group trips for women over 40 Viking Women - Iceland Explorer Chick - hiking and adventure in National Parks and abroad Insight Vacations - upscale group trips some women only Backroads - women only hiking and cycling Road Scholar - educational, some women only, over 50 Uniworld - women's cruises

Why should you travel alone? Derek, Josh, and Tara met in Spain through EF Ultimate Break. When you stay true to yourself and surround yourself with others doing the same, meaningful connections are bound to happen. But how do you go from scrolling travel TikToks to booking the trip of a lifetime? And how do you go from a deathly fear of flying to monthly flights around the world? Solo travel is not about the destination, it's about who you become along the way. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In our upcoming podcast episode, we have the pleasure of hosting an adventurous and confident woman, Ms. Korobi Roy, who explores the world one place at a time, embracing the thrill of solo travel. Her journey began in the serene coastal town of Varkala in Kerala, where she discovered the joy and therapeutic benefits of traveling alone. She shares how solo travel allows her to create her own schedule, cater to her own preferences, and make countless new friends through engaging conversations along the way. She then embarked on an educational adventure in Prague during a sabbatical. Balancing a very tough course in a new country amidst co-students from across the world was a real challenge. But she took up the challenge and had a great time there too. Immersing herself in the city's rich history and exploring its surrounding villages and towns as she kept up the course rigor. Living with a diverse group of international students, she experienced the joy of communal living—cooking, eating, traveling, and studying together. The course culminated in a delightful trip to Vienna, where she had her first eye-opening experience staying in a multi-gender hostel room. From palaces and gardens to theatres, cathedrals, beer gardens, and pubs, her strolls through Vienna were nothing short of magical. Her travels didn't stop there. In Paris, she revelled in the charm of its lanes and by-lanes, making new friends as she explored quaint French cafes and unknown churches, cathedrals and gardens! As a bonus, our guest recounts her wonderful solo trip to Cambodia, where she explored the magnificent Angkor Wat and the vibrant streets of Phnom Penh, forming lasting friendships along the way. Join us as we dive into her inspiring stories and learn how solo travel has shaped her adventurous spirit and enriched her life with unforgettable experiences. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or an armchair adventurer, prepare to be transported to some of the most breathtaking and culturally rich destinations on the planet.

Traveling alone is growing in popularity. How do you stay safe? WWJ's Murray Feldman has details. 

EP381: In this episode, I interview Karen Ericson who is an inspiration for all those seeking the courage to embark on new adventures, regardless of age. At 64, Karen has cultivated a life enriched with wisdom from 31 years as an educator, cherishing the roles of a devoted mother to three incredible children, a grandmother to an adorable grandson, and a partner in a loving marriage spanning 44 years. Karen's story is one of self-discovery, a poignant narrative that led her to undertake an awe-inspiring feat: traveling alone to Portugal to walk the Camino Trail by herself at the age of 63. She shares this profound experience, revealing the pivotal moments that ignited her decision to traverse this spiritual pilgrimage and the transformative insights she learned along the way. In this episode, we talk about: The profound insights and revelations Karen received through this experience. The unexpected gift of human connection she got while traversing the Camino. How, even with a supportive and loving spouse, you can feel unfulfilled and unsettled, with feelings of wanting more in your life. Tips for getting over the fear of traveling alone. Throughout our conversation, Karen highlights the importance of being a seeker, trying new adventures, and spending time in nature. She passionately advocates for the belief that the pursuit of growth and the embrace of novel experiences are not bound by fear or age.  Her compelling personal experience serves as a beacon of hope, encouraging women to confront their fears and ardently pursue their dreams, irrespective of the challenges that may accompany them. Karen's solo adventure is a great reminder that it's never too late to chase your dreams, and you don't need anyone but yourself to do so!  Other ways to find and connect with Karen are: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/authenticlivingbykaren  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/authenticlivingbykaren/  If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review and subscribe to (or follow) this podcast so you don't miss any new episodes.   You can also sign up for my newsletter on my website, or if you'd like to connect with me, you can email me at lauriewright@notyouraveragegrandma.com  or send a message using any of the sites below:
