Go Solo

Your solo adventure starts here!

Go Solo is more than a travel guide—it’s an invitation. Written for women in midlife and beyond who are ready to explore the world on their own terms, this book offers practical tips, real stories, and the kind of encouragement that only comes from someone who’s done it herself.

Whether you’re dreaming of your first solo journey or already planning the next, this book has everything you need—and more—to take the next step.

It’s not too late. It’s your turn.

Ready to explore the world on your own terms? This inspiring solo travel book for women over 50 will show you how.

If you’ve ever dreamed of travelling solo — just you, your suitcase, and a world of possibilities — but weren’t quite sure how to begin, Go Solo: The Independent Woman’s Guide to Solo Travel After 50 is your trusted companion.

Whether you’re newly retired, navigating change, or simply craving adventure, this empowering guide combines practical advice with personal stories to help women plan meaningful journeys — with confidence, purpose, and joy.

You don’t need to be brave, rich, or wildly adventurous. You just need to be curious…and ready to start.

Inside, you’ll discover:

• How to choose destinations that are safe, enriching, and a joy to explore alone
• Tips for planning your trip without overwhelm — whether you’re travelling on a budget or indulging a little
• How to navigate dining solo, connecting with others, and embracing solitude
• Smart strategies for staying healthy and safe, handling setbacks, and bouncing back
• Packing tips, travel hacks, and thoughtful advice to help you feel at home anywhere in the world
• Real, relatable stories from the author’s own travels — including the funny, the frustrating, and the unforgettable.

Go Solo is more than just another senior travel guide or how-to book — it’s a supportive, down-to-earth roadmap for women seeking freedom, adventure, and meaningful experiences, one trip at a time.

Travelling solo isn’t just about striking out alone — it’s about choosing how you want to travel. Even if you join a group or a tour, it still counts as solo travel when the decision is yours to go.

Whether you’re widowed, divorced, happily partnered, or never partnered at all…whether you’re retired, in transition, or simply ready for something new…this book will help you take the leap.

This book is for you if:

• You’re curious about solo travel for women, especially in midlife and beyond
• You want real-world tips and encouragement from someone who’s been there
• You’re ready to travel independently — with or without a partner or friend — on your own timeline, and within your budget

What it’s not:

This isn’t a glossy travel guide or a list of top ten destinations. It’s a warm, honest, and practical resource for independent women who want to travel with more freedom, more intention, and more joy — starting now.

If you’ve ever dreamed of setting out on your own — especially in midlife and beyond — and wondered if it’s too late, too difficult, or too daring…this is for you.

Buy Go Solo today — and take the first step toward your next great adventure.
