That's right. Even if you have a partner, I want you to read this blog post because there are definite advantages and challenges to traveling solo. Even if you think, "There is no way I would ever travel solo, " please read on with an open mind. You might change your mind. I'll be interviewing three solo travelers about the challenges and joys of traveling solo. Since I usually travel solo myself, you'll hear my two cents' worth as well. It's a great show. Even if you think, "No way, I could never travel solo, " I beg you, please read on and see if you don't change your mind. If you're like me, you don't want to live an ordinary life. You want to live a kick-ass life, and one way to do so is to add adventure travel to your life. I find adventure travel brings out the best in me. It challenges me, it encourages me, it enlightens me, and it inspires me to lead a bigger life. On this program, you'll learn about amazing adventures from around the world plus get the tools and information you need so you can do these adventures with confidence. You'll come home feeling empowered and with amazing memories and stories you can relive forever. Don't worry—the bar is such that my relatively fit 58-year-old body, particularly with some training, can do these adventures, and you can too. This episode is a roundup episode.

When I interviewed her in Quebec, I asked her casually about solo travel. We got so engrossed in it that I decided to take that section of our interview and add it to this solo episode. Our other guests are Monica and Jason. I'll let them introduce themselves. Let's start with my interview with Jackie. Jackie Norris Interview Kit: Jackie, why do you travel solo? Jackie: The reason I do solo travel is that I'm solo. I don't let that stop me. For years and years, a lot of people struggle with the idea of getting out on their own. It's a necessity for me. It's what I have to do, and so I do it. I never thought I would enjoy it, but I do love it now. You have to get to a point where you're ...
