Is solo travel only for extroverts? What if you’re quiet, anxious, or unsure you’re “ready” to go alone? In this episode, I’m joined by Kerri Leigh , who went from being an anxious waitress to completely transforming her life through solo travel. Now living her dream life in Mexico, Kerri shares how introverts can not only handle solo travel but actually thrive in it. We talk about the myth that solo travel is only for outgoing, fearless people and why introverts often have a hidden advantage. Kerri shares practical ways to manage travel anxiety, meet people without forcing awkward social situations, and set healthy boundaries while traveling alone. If fear, overthinking, or self-doubt has been holding you back from booking your first solo trip, this conversation will help you rethink what’s possible—and remind you that you don’t have to feel 100% ready to begin. 🎙️ In this episode, we discuss: Why solo travel isn’t just for extroverts How introverts can thrive by setting their own pace Practical tips for managing travel anxiety How to meet people naturally while traveling solo The importance of setting healthy boundaries on your trip Why you don’t need to feel “ready” before you take the first step Kerri’s personal journey from anxiety to living abroad in Mexico How solo travel builds real confidence over time Connect with Kerri: Instagram: @ ⁠kerriomwithlove 🎧 Enjoyed this episode?
