    In this podcast, you will become equipped to travel safely by yourself.

My mission is to see more women over 50, empty-nesters, discover how travel can empower them. If you want to enjoy your next travel adventure solo, then start your journey here.

    Hi Sister Travelers, I’m Cheryl, solo travel advocate and coach. I spent nearly 20 years putting my family/children first and felt guilty about even considering solo travel at the time. After my divorce and transitioning to an empty nest, I began to rediscover my passion for travel, built confidence in myself, and started to explore again. I have experienced life-changing adventures through travel and I want the same for you.

    If you are ready to find freedom through travel and build your confidence while safely navigating new places, then this podcast is for you!

    Pack your bags, grab your plane tickets and check one more time for that passport. It’s time to explore the world!
