Solo travel tends to bring up a lot of questions and even more fears.

In this episode, I explore some of the most common concerns people have about travelling alone: safety, loneliness, navigating unfamiliar places and languages, dining solo, and dealing with the unexpected without a safety net.

I share real-life moments from my own travels, including a recent conversation with fellow travellers in Cambodia, and an early solo experience in Paris that challenged my comfort zone more than I expected.

Beyond the practicalities, this episode also dives into the quieter, less talked-about layers of solo travel — the psychological and emotional ones. We look at why solitude can feel so confronting, how our constant need for distraction has disconnected us from ourselves, and why learning to sit with your own company can be one of the most empowering skills you develop.

I also share the ways I consciously create connection while travelling alone — from walking tours and online communities to simply saying yes to social moments — and how solo travel has strengthened my confidence, resilience, and trust in myself.

This episode isn’t about convincing you to travel solo. It’s an invitation to look honestly at what holds you back and what becomes possible when you feel anchored within yourself.

What if being single isn’t a “waiting room” for real life… but a fully valid, freedom-filled choice?

In this honest, wide-open episode, I share what I truly believe about dating, relationships, and being single in my 40s and why I don’t subscribe to the idea that everyone should be partnered. We’re living in a new paradigm where being single isn’t shameful, and where many women are no longer willing to enter relationships out of habit, pressure, or survival.

I reference the viral Vogue piece “Is Having a Boyfriend Embarrassing now?” by Chanté Joseph and reflect on how modern women are protecting their time, energy, joy, and sanity and why “having someone” is no longer the prize if it comes with emotional labour, unequal effort, or feeling like you’ve become someone’s manager/mother.

I also talk about dating as a digital nomad: the reality of dating apps, plus other (often more wholesome) ways to meet people — nomad meetups, shared interests like swimming or hiking, social media connections, and the underrated art of striking up a conversation in real life.

At the heart of it all, I share what I’m no longer available for, what I’ve learned from toxic dynamics, and why a strong friendship and clear boundaries are the foundation of any relationship I’d choose now. And yes — even though I’m single, I still believe in love. I’m open, I’m ready, and I’m willing to pause the nomad life long enough to explore something real, if the right person comes along.

If you’ve ever felt the pressure to “figure it out,” settle, or explain your choices — this one’s for you.

How do you actually choose your destinations as a location independent remote worker/digital nomad?

In this episode, I share how I navigate nomad destinations, from my more carefully planned first year (especially the first six months), to how I now travel in a much more spontaneous and intuitive way.

I talk about creating a financial runway for peace of mind, balancing curiosity with budgeting, and how I think about expenses across an entire year - including when and why I choose to splurge on places like New York or London, and how it all evens out over time.

You’ll hear my approach to slow travel (staying a month or longer), mixed with shorter “exploration trips” to scout out new destinations before committing. I also share practical tips on finding accommodation, from using long-stay Airbnb discounts, negotiating directly with hosts, and searching via Google Maps, to alternative options like pet sitting and word-of-mouth recommendations.

This is a practical episode filled with real-life strategies, honest reflections, and a few stories from the road, especially around settling in, creating routines, and why returning to places you already love can make nomad life feel more grounded and sustainable.

If you’re curious about how to choose destinations thoughtfully, without burning out or blowing your budget, this episode is for you.
