You do not need a partner, a friend group, or permission to see the world. In this episode, I’m joined by my friend Maya, who has explored 19 countries before turning 30 and fully embraced solo travel along the way. Together, we talk about how luxury travel can make solo travel feel safer and more empowering, how to research destinations so you feel confident instead of overwhelmed, and why traveling alone might be the most transformational gift you ever give yourself. If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” or the “right person” to book that trip, this conversation might be the nudge you need to start planning your own luxury travel adventure.

How do you celebrate a business anniversary when your heart is holding more than just pride and gratitude? In this episode, I’m reflecting on six years of Makin’ Memories Travel Co., a journey fueled by joy, connection, and unforgettable adventures. But I’m also sharing something much more personal.
