    What an awesome podcast! This episode was so informative but also realistic. I loved that the guest talked about concerns when traveling alone and had tips for safety. She was so knowledgeable and it made me feel like maybe I could travel solo as well!

    This was my first time to listen to this podcast but I will definitely be back for more!
