Solo Travel Isn’t Just for Backpacking 20-Somethings!
Just Go Solo!
Let’s clarify something important: This isn’t about quitting your job to live in a hostel bunk bed or “finding yourself” on a gap year. This is about owning your freedom, stepping out of your comfort zone, and taking that damn trip you’ve always dreamed about.
No more waiting on flaky friends, no compromising on what you want to do—just you, traveling solo on your terms!
I see you. I get you.
& I know the questions running through your head:
- Am I too old to start traveling solo at 30 or 40? (Nope. Not even close.)
- Will I feel out of place traveling alone in the Canary Islands? (Only if you get in your head)
- Is solo travel safe? (With some common sense and insider tips—absolutely.)
- What if I don’t like being alone? (You will, once you realize how freeing it is.)
Whether you’re looking for the most walkable cities in Spain, booking a solo trip to Madeira/Tenerife, or finally booking that slow travel trip to SE Asia, your Solo Traveling Homegirl [that’s ME!] is here to help you ditch the doubts, plan smart, and travel responsibly.

What you'll find here
- City guides built for first-time solo travelers over 30 (walkable, safe, and packed with the best eats & experiences).
- Packing lists that won’t leave you hauling a suitcase bigger than your hotel room.
- Real talk & travel stories from other solo traveling homegirls who took the leap into solo adventure in their 30s and beyond—and never looked back.
Solo travel at 30+ hits different—in the best way. You’re wiser, more confident, and know what you want. Now it’s time to get out there and take up space.

Solo Traveling Consultation
All of the minuscule details that go into planning a solo trip can be overwhelming. Besides, you don’t know what you don’t know about the world of travel. Having traveled to over 30 countries as a solo female backpacker, I’m hyper-aware of the importance of these and many more types of details.
This kind of one-on-one insight is what Meredith delivers during a Solo Traveling Consultation.
