At one point in our lives, most of us have found an amazing trip, reached out to our friends, and shared this amazing find, and get excited about the possibility of taking a super fun vacation with your friends!  However, instead of spending your time talking about all the fun you all will have, you are spending your time trying to convince your friends to join you.  At least one friend can go, right?   Travelling alone, as a woman, could be a possibility you tell yourself.  “After all, everyone is doing it”, you tell yourself.  Single women traveling alone should not be an issue, right?   Having a talk with yourself before your first trip is normal.  Sometimes, as a woman traveling alone, you must talk yourself through your fears and comfort level.  I have been there!…
