#18 What Solo Travel Can Teach You About You

2026-03-04

In this episode, I reflect back on my 8 week solo trip to Europe and how travel can teach us about ourselves. Why it felt less like a vacation and more like necessary medicine for my life. How traveling alone helped me reconnect with parts of myself I felt disconnected from. I share how solo travel can be a fast track for self-discovery, self-respect, and actually doing the things you say you want to do “someday.”

In this episode:

Why my two-month Europe trip felt essential for my growth, not like running away

The difference between enjoying alone time and traveling solo

How traveling alone creates space to hear your intuition again

The confidence that comes from doing the things you’ve always dreamed of

Why your trip doesn’t have to be extreme, long, or far away to change you

What to consider emotionally if you’re afraid of loneliness or feeling untethered

If this episode makes you feel that pull toward something bigger and bold, a trip, a reset, a new chapter, or simply wanting to feel more connected to yourself. I’d love to support you inside my counseling and coaching work.

In my integrative approach, we work on:

Rebuilding trust in yourself and your intuition

Understanding what your life is asking you to pay attention to

Creating space for self-discovery, clarity, and emotional regulation

Navigating transitions, restlessness, or the feeling of being “lost”

Exploring desire- travel desire, relational desire, sexual desire, life desire—and what it’s pointing you toward

This work is deeply personal, grounding, and centered on what you want next in your life. If you’re craving support, guidance, or a space to finally talk through what you’re feeling, you can reach out through my website, Instagram, or Substack to learn more about sessions.

Life Notes is a voice-note–style podcast for thoughtful people in the middle of figuring things out about themselves, their relationships, and what really matters.

Hosted by Megan Marie, Life Notes offers short, honest reflections that feel more like a voice memo to a friend than a performance. These are the things that don’t make it to Instagram. The unfiltered thoughts, soft questions, and little bits of clarity that show up while brushing your teeth, walking to the coffee shop, or sitting in the sun.

It’s for the ones who feel deeply, who overthink everything, who are learning to trust themselves again. For the ones outgrowing old versions of themselves and soft-launching new ones. For anyone craving a moment of quiet honesty in a loud world.

There’s no theme music or polished advice. It's just a place to slow down and listen in. Always raw and always real.
