12 Solo Date Ideas to Build Confidence Before Your First Solo Trip // 173

What if confidence for solo travel doesn’t start at the airport—but in your own town?

In this episode, Cheryl shares 12 simple solo date ideas designed to build self-trust, independence, and ease in public spaces—so future solo travel feels natural instead of intimidating.

These aren’t consolation outings.
They’re confidence reps.

From cozy café visits to museum afternoons, from farmers markets to nature trails, each idea strengthens your ability to listen to yourself, choose your pace, and enjoy your own company without apology.

In This Episode:

• Why solo dates build the confidence muscle
• Café and bookstore outings that increase comfort in public spaces
• Museums and galleries for curiosity without compromise
• Playful “inner child” activities that restore lightness
• Nature walks and new parks that build resilience
• Classes and workshops that stretch your comfort zone
• Being a tourist in your own town to practice travel logistics
• Vision board nights that turn travel dreams into action

Solo travel confidence doesn’t appear overnight.
It grows in layers.

When you practice choosing yourself locally, booking that future trip becomes far less intimidating.
