Do you need more solo travel in 2023? My diagnosis

Do you need more solo travel in 2023? My diagnosis 👇

I often like to call solo travel "the great reset" ✨️

When your life feels out of alignment with your true self, when you've lost yourself in the midst of toxic relationships, or all you know is SOMETHING has got to change - ✋️

I promise you girl, solo travel has got your back ✈️

It will make you remember you are a priority, allowing yourself to ask for maybe the first time ever: what do *I* need? 💕

It will allow you to feel your feelings and truly process them without distractions 🎭

And it will remind you of the magical truth that there is ALWAYS someone there for you - ☝️

YOU! 💜

If 2022 has got you feeling like something's gotta give, here's my diagnosis (and I am actually almost a doctor now 😜):

You need more solo travel - *especially* you! 🎆

Not sure how? Scared of the unknowns? Don't worry, and don't be ashamed - I've been in your exact shoes before 👠

Click the link in my bio to find all sorts of helpful tips and guides made specifically for solo female travelers just like you, taking into special account important factors like safety! 👍

Solo travel's got your back, girl - and so do I. Go check it out and don't forget to follow me for more! 🚶‍♀️

Have you heard of Europe's longest Christmas marke

Have you heard of Europe's longest Christmas market? 🎄

At over 1 km long, Montreux Christmas market has over 170 chalet stalls along the shores of Lake Geneva! 😮

It's most famous for the flying Santa around sunset - yes, a lit up sleigh with reindeer carrying a real, live Santa Claus whisks along a zipline with the Swiss Alps as a backdrop, even with fireworks shooting out from behind the sleigh! 😅

All of this makes Montreux a must-visit if you're looking for the best European Christmas markets 🎅

Have you heard of Montreux? I hadn't before I visited Geneva recently! Let me know in the comments 👇

Would you do it? 😮

Stilfserjoch is infamous amongst cyclists, but driving it is no walk in the park either 😅

I'd say it was worth it - how about you? Would you do it? 😉

❄️ 6 WINTER DAY TRIPS FROM GENEVA, SWITZERLAND

❄️ 6 WINTER DAY TRIPS FROM GENEVA, SWITZERLAND ❄️

These are perfect in summer too though! (Save this for later!) 🌞

1️⃣ Vue sur le Mont Blanc, France - viewpoint in the Jura Mountains overlooking the Lac Lemán region with a stunning view of the Mont Blanc massif. Need a car to get to this one 🏔

2️⃣ Chamonix-Mont Blanc, France - the world famous skiing destination has way more to do than just ski! Visit the Mer de Glace glacier, soar to new heights at the mind-boggling Aiguille de Midi, or just enjoy the cuteness of this alpine village ❄️

3️⃣ Annecy, France - this might be all the rage in the summer but you can totally beat the crowds in the winter, having a famous view of Le Palais de l'Île all to yourself ⛪️

4️⃣ Le Gruyeres, Switzerland - cheese, chocolate, castles - need I say more? Tour the factory to see how Gruyere cheese is made, explore the 13th century castle, & don't miss a traditional pot of cheese fondue 🫕

5️⃣ Montreux, Switzerland - famous for its jazz festival, Montreux also boasts one of the most beautiful Christmas markets in Europe! At over 1 km long along Lake Geneva, it also must be one of the longest 🎄

6️⃣ Chateau de Chillon, Switzerland - with a backdrop of the Swiss Alps & Lake Geneva beside, this castle looks good in any season. & chances are, you'll again have it all to yourself! It's close to Montreux so you could easily combine these two 🏰

🚆 HOW TO GET THERE 🚘

Renting a car is by far the cheapest option. You can rent a car at the Geneva Airport for 7 days & pay less than $30/day with Rentalcars.com (link in bio)! 🚗

The trains are generally expensive in Switzerland: 🚄

RT Geneva <> Chamonix: 3h, €47
<> Annecy: 2h, $53
<> Gruyeres: 2h, $70
<> Montreux: 1h, $37
<> Chateau de Chillon: 1h30m, $27

You can cut the cost of all trips by almost 1/2 by taking a bus - it just might take a little longer 🚍

I really like a combination of Google Maps & Trailine to check for transport options 🗺

I hope this helps! Let me know in the comments other questions you have about these destinations, getting there, & where you think you'll go! 👇

✨️ Chateau de Chillon, Switzerland ✨️

This place is pure magic at golden hour, with a warm glow peeking over a backdrop of the Swiss Alps 😍

This rocky outcropping to the north of the Chateau is perfect for photos with evening light - just pass over the pedestrian bridge from the street and find your way down to the water's edge 🌊

An easy day trip from Geneva and worth combining with nearby Montreux! 🏰

Competition is not always a good thing 🙅‍♀️

The travel instagram world is super competitive, and in an effort to grow so that I can encourage more young women to realise their travel dreams, I've been very focused lately on what the app's biggest influencer "gurus" teach on this subject 💁‍♀️

They say their strategy is supposed to hyperfocus me on my "why" for my audience - but it has really only made me more distant than ever from mine! 🤦‍♀️

I started traveling and am so passionate about encouraging others to do the same because it has opened my heart to genuine connection, giving me a literal world of friends 🌍

It has filled up my soul with adventure and adrenaline and mishaps of a certain hilarity that you just cannot make up 😅

And it has made me a confident, independent young woman who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to ask for it 💅

It's true that in anything you want to commit to and improve, it's important to have a strategy. But no matter how "proven" it is, that strategy is useless if you lose your "why" and, by association, yourself, in the process! ❗️

I realised this during my current trip in Switzerland, where I've been in a serious funk and just felt "blah" and uninspired 😖

But today, when I decided to give up on capturing the "perfect" Instagram shots and moments that would be popular with the masses and instead became present, went back to my roots of why I travel, enjoyed myself, got curious, and laughed with my partner as we explored a tiny town in the rain, I finally got my mojo back ☺️

The travel magic came back ✨️

And so I've become okay with the fact that what I shoot, film, and share on this app from now on may not draw in thousands of followers by following the "proven strategy" of reproducing moments from the same "instafamous" destinations we all see over and over again 📸

But I know what it will be is 100% value for you in a way that is 100%. Freakin. Me. 😁

And if you love that too, I hope you'll stick around for it. ❤️
