People that don't solo travel or worry about you pursuing solo travels may try to discourage you with these 4 myths.

MYTH #1: Solo Travel is Unsafe

MYTH #2: You will be Lonely traveling solo
Solo travel actually gets us out of our comfort zone to potentially speak to locals or other travelers and more likely to meet other people and create friendships too. We first need to love being with ourselves which can be experienced while solo traveling.

MYTH #3: Our Solo Travels Need to Be Grandiose
Solo travel does not have be expensive or grand. You don't even need to go across the pond. You can do solo travel locally or take a road trip within your own country. Or even explore your own town/city with fresh new explorer eyes.

MYTH #4: You Are Too Old to Solo Travel
We may envision solo travel as reserved for the young, 20-something crowd. We may think of a young person doing a Gap Year or backpacking throughout a series of countries. But as midlife women, we have such deep life experiences and financial resources to travel. How you travel and where you go depends on your travel style (see episode # 20). I believe we are never too old!
