It's not too late. It's your turn. Thinking about travelling on your own — but not sure where to start?

Whether you've just renewed your passport or are finally ready to use it, Go Solo is a warm, practical guide for women in midlife and beyond who want to travel independently — even if it's their very first trip.

You don't need to be brave, rich, or wildly adventurous. You just need a bit of curiosity, a willingness to plan smart, and a gentle nudge in the right direction.

Written by a solo traveller who's been there, Go Solo offers real-world advice, relatable stories, and the kind of encouragement that only comes from someone who truly understands what it means to start later in life.

Whether you're newly retired, navigating change, or simply craving adventure, this empowering guide has everything you need — and more — to take the next step.

This book is for you if:

You've never travelled alone (or not for a long time) and wonder if you could.
You're navigating life transitions — retirement, loss, reinvention, or self-doubt — and want to do something just for you.
You want calm support and practical guidance — not hype or pressure — from someone who gets it.

Inside, you'll discover:

How to choose solo-friendly destinations that suit your pace and interests.
Smart, low-stress ways to plan affordably — whether you're going budget or boutique.
Tips for managing health, safety, tech, and travel logistics with clarity and confidence.
Advice on dining alone, connecting with others, and embracing your own company.
Packing strategies, travel tips, and thoughtful tools to help you feel at home anywhere.
Real stories from the author's own travels — including the funny, the frustrating, and the unforgettable.

Go Solo isn't just another senior travel guide or list of "top ten" destinations. It's a supportive, down-to-earth roadmap for women seeking freedom, adventure, and meaningful experiences — one trip at a time.

Travelling solo doesn't always mean going it alone, either. It means choosing how you want to travel. Even if you join a tour or group, it still counts as solo travel when the decision to go is yours.

What it's not:

This isn't a glossy brochure or a guide for seasoned globetrotters. It's a realistic, relatable companion for women ready to reclaim their sense of adventure — quietly, confidently, and without apology.

Fully formatted for easy reading in paperback and eBook formats.

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 seeing the world — your way.
