Join us for a 17-minute travel talk with Cille Tyler on today's episode of the Women Traveling Solo Together podcast!
How much thought do you put in preparing for your overseas trip? Are you the type of person that’s open to possibilities? Do you worry too much because you don’t know what can happen?
For some, traveling doesn’t look easy as others portray it. Sometimes things don’t go as planned.
You are scared or will be scared, of something at some point in your life in general. And it’s not easy to let go of such fear but when you have someone with you along the journey it’ll be different. Just knowing that you aren’t alone on that experience, lessens the burden in your chest.
Cille a WTT tour leader is very well passionate about helping fellow solo women overcome their anxiety about traveling whatever that may be, in order for them to experience the joy that traveling provides.
You can watch a travel channel or do some readings about a place but there is no substitute for being there The joy will always outweigh the uncomfortableness and the risk. And that’s the beauty of it. Traveling will teach you how to be independent, depend on others but most importantly, it can teach you how to take risks in your life.
Key Takeaways:
History of how Cille’s travel experience started The hesitations that people experience Why do we chose and go to uncertainty despite the risk? How Cille supports and encourages women to work over their angst and overcome their fearsMentioned in This Episode:

The practice of self-care means differently to different people. In our society, women are always busy being caretakers. Putting everybody else first before themselves, until there is no more time left for ‘me time’.
In this episode, Maureen shares how travel has become an essential form of self-care for her. A lot of things were going on in her plate that she lost track of what made her happy and how it feels like to just be herself again.
She felt she needed to do something for a change and decided to go on a trip together with WTT!
Along the journey, she encountered friends she never thought she would have without the opportunities provided by WTT.
At some point in your life, you should try traveling for a break and as a form of self-care. It’s a vital time for you to re-energize yourself and truly let go of your worries and come back as a better version of You!

In this episode, Judy shares her insight on traveling, her experiences while in Ireland, moving out of her comfort zone, and becoming a tour leader. Throughout our life as women, we take the role of caretakers. We take care of everything - from our kids to our husband and everything else. But have you ever thought when it’s going to be your turn?

In traveling, you have to have more than courage in order to travel solo. Life starts at the end of your comfort zone. If you don't get out there and do the things that you really want right now, you’re going to miss out on so many great experiences.
As women, we’ve done our part. We did what we’re supposed to do. Now, it’s our time, our turn to have fun and do the things we love!

Join us for an 18-minute travel talk with Debra Asberry on today's episode of the Women Traveling Solo Together podcast!
Is it even possible to fit all the stuff you need in a 25-inch box?
We all have our own favorite things that we can’t let go of and we want to take it with us wherever we go. But it doesn’t have to be like that if you're planning to travel. When you travel, you have to be space-smart and get rid of the mindset that you need stuff “just-in-case”. Trust me, you really don’t. Unless you’d be staying in some isolated island for a week!
In today’s episode, Debra shares helpful tips on how to condense your life in a 25-inch suitcase and still feel comfortable, not feeling home-sick all throughout the journey. And she notes the importance of being able to manage your suitcase on your own.
We want to bring something from home that makes us comfortable inside our suitcase. Sure they aren’t just objects that have sentimental value, but you don’t really really need them when you’re planning to see the world. You can buy it anywhere you go.
The less things you have the quicker your decisions will be. The less you bring, the more you can enjoy priceless moments that really matter.
Key Takeaways:
The 25-inch rule for traveling. Brilliant and effective tips on how to better manage your stuff when you travel. That one thing that doesn’t take up any space in your luggage but provides incredible comfort from home. It is easier to travel with less!Mentioned in This Episode:
