⬇️How to tell family and friends you want to solo travel⬇️

This question has come up in my DMs a lot these past few weeks - looks like a bunch of you have solo travel as a goal this year 🤩

I remember telling a friend I had booked a trip to Europe and they asked, “Who are you going with?” When I said, “Myself.” I could immediately tell by their face that they thought I was crazy.

Chances are you are going to encounter a wide range of reactions when you tell people about your solo travel plans. From encouragement, to skepticism, to worry, to downright negativity - it seems like everyone in your life will have an opinion about your choice to solo travel!

For the people in your life that are coming from a place of love, acknowledge their concerns and:
Share your travel plans so they will know what you are doing and where you will be.
Check in with them while you are on your trip.
Explain why you want to solo travel, many people don’t “get” solo travel or why someone would want to travel by themselves.
Ask them what they are worried about and what you can do to reassure them.
Tell them about other solo travelers, hearing success stories and that this really isn’t that odd or rare of a thing to do can help!

For the people who are coming from a place of negativity:
Ignore them, change the topic if they want to drag you down, don’t share more than you absolutely have to if at all. Protect your energy and establish your boundaries. You can’t control someone’s negativity but you can control how you respond to it.

Remember that this is your life and do what makes YOU happy. Don’t let the judgement of others keep you from your dreams and certainly don’t listen to people who haven’t done what you’re trying to do.

It’s not a hobby. It’s a lifestyle. It’s an obsession.

I respectfully disagree 😤 Did you know that the most happiness is gained from the anticipation of a trip rather than the trip itself?

There was a 2010 Dutch study that looked at the happinesses levels of vacationers vs. non-vacationers and discovered that the spike in happiness actually came from the anticipation of a trip. And one 2013 survey of 485 adults in the U.S. linked travel to enhanced empathy, attention, energy, and focus. Another study in 2002 published by the University of Surrey found that people are happiest when they have travel planned.

Next time someone tells you that travel isn’t a coping skill tell them you have the science to prove that it is beneficial to your mental health!

I decided to stop waiting for others to make my travel dreams come true. I stopped waiting for friends to look at their calendars, family to make plans, and for my husband to accrue enough PTO.

I finally realized that person who had the power to change my life was me.

When I got back from my first solo trip I felt like I could take on the world – BECAUSE I JUST DID. I had lost touch with just how strong, smart, and independent I could be and solo travel has awakened all of that.

Don’t wait on others. You’re capable of making your own dreams come true. It’s up to you to take that first step towards what you want.

I’m so glad someone told me I’m supposed to be sad! 🙃 I was too busy having the best time to realize I was doing it wrong.

I think the better question is, “When am I not thinking about booking a trip?”
