Love the quotes and the photos!! At first I struggled with the feeling there was something wrong with me wanting to travel solo. This was encouraging to hear others were also drawn to travel and PLAN solo trips. The planning of the trip also brings great joy! Thank you for the wonderful story NonaπŸ’—

Nona! Love everything about this. Walking part of the Camino has set the wheels in motion for many more walks. It has opened up possibility that I haven't felt in years.

The biggest question I get asked from people is if I was worried about travelling on my own. I love that you have offered ways to ease into solo travel for those who might be new to it.

Now ... on to planning my next adventure!

I loved this piece Nona! Thank you for sharing part of my story as well. Solo travel can definitely seem scary but I think it's good to get outside of our comfort zone. Utah was my second big solo road trip, the first being across Canada, and I've definitely been bitten by the bug.

There's something special about the contemplative silence of travelling on your own, whether it's on a long road trip or hiking through desert and mountains. It brings you back to yourself and I think in some way provides healing of your soul.

I loved the list you shared. Scotland is on my list hopefully this year because I'd like to do the West Highland Way. The Camino has been on my mind for well over a year now as well, so Sarah's story has really inspired me to take another look at that. Getting back to my solo back country camping is another thing I'm looking forward to this year.
