In this episode of Wandering Wild, I sit down with my friend Natalie while we’re mid–road trip in Australia to talk about what it’s really like traveling solo, sleeping in your car, and learning to trust yourself along the way.

We dive into the freedom of road tripping, the reality of loneliness, safety as a woman, choosing the right people, and why solo travel isn’t an escape from real life—it’s just a different version of it. Natalie shares what she’s learned about decision-making, self-trust, meeting people on the road, and allowing yourself to have hard days even while living a dream life.

This conversation is honest, reflective, funny, and grounding—perfect for anyone craving adventure, independence, or a reminder that you’re allowed to move through life at your own pace.

In this episode, I share what it’s been like road tripping Australia — camping, sleeping in cars, meeting people by chance, and choosing the road instead of the flight. What began as a spontaneous decision became a turning point.

This episode explores:

• Road tripping Australia as a solo female traveler

• Transitioning from constant travel to wanting roots

• Trusting intuition and navigating uncertainty

• Finding freedom in the in-between places

If you’re entering a new season or standing at a crossroads, this episode is for you.

This New Year feels different.

After feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and caught in my own head, I made one simple decision — to move. What followed was an unexpected road trip, sleeping in cars and tents, meeting people who were strangers just days ago, and feeling more alive than I ever.

In this episode, I reflect on what it means to stop keeping our lives in our heads and start letting them exist in the real world. I talk about indecision, fear, and the ways we talk ourselves out of connection, action, and becoming the person we say we want to be.

Instead of resolutions, I’m choosing a theme for this year: letting my thoughts, ideas, and instincts turn into real experiences. Real movement. Real connection. Real life.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, restless, or like you’re waiting for the “right time” to start — this episode is a reminder that so much can change when you finally take the first step.
