The answer isn't simply yes or no. In this episode, I share how I approach meeting people while traveling solo, the boundaries I set, and why trusting your instincts is one of the best travel skills you can develop. 🎙️ In this episode, we'll cover: Why you don't have to meet people to enjoy solo travel Easy ways to naturally meet locals and other travelers How to stay safe while still enjoying conversations The personal boundaries I use when traveling alone Why quality conversations matter more than quantity Whether you're an introvert, an extrovert, or somewhere in between, solo travel gives you the freedom to decide how social you want to be. My hope is that this episode helps you feel more confident creating a trip that feels right for you.
