Episode Description
Most women have a definition of solo travel in their head, and it's usually the thing keeping them from taking the trip they dream of. If solo means handling every unknown by yourself with no one to call on, of course you're not booking the trip.
Gina Cambridge built her business as a travel coach on the gap between that definition and what solo travel can actually look like.
In this episode of Freedom Looks Like this, we talk about solo travel retreats within a group tour and how that still counts. Gina has led over 30 retreats and tours across destinations like New Zealand, Bali, and Cuba. We also get into safety abroad and the difference between what the news tells you about a place and what living there actually feels like.
In this episode:
- Group tours that still count as solo
- Snoring, single rooms, and matchmaking
- The bunk bed that led to Bali
- Lunch with the phone put away
- Cairo, giggling, and going alone
- The family beach day and permission
This episode is for you if:
- you are curious about taking a group trip
- you've considered a group tour but worried about choosing the right one
- you're an introvert who wonders how anyone is supposed to make friends on the road, especially with everyone glued to their phones
- you've taken solo trips before and want to try different approaches
