SUMMARY:Journey for one: the courage to go alone
DESCRIPTION:Traveling solo as a woman is no longer an exception—it’s one of the most empowering and rewarding ways to explore the world. In this engaging presentation by Jodie Hopkins\, we’ll look at why more women are choosing to travel on their own later in life\, what makes a destination welcoming and safe\, and how solo travel can deepen confidence\, curiosity\, and joy. Through stories\, practical tips\, and thoughtful reflection\, this talk invites you to imagine traveling not as a leap of courage\, but as a natural next chapter—one filled with independence\, discovery\, and the pleasure of moving through the world entirely on your own terms. \nJodie’s presentation will blend personal stories\, practical wisdom\, and thoughtful reflection to help women reframe fear and build self-trust. She believes that independence is a skill that can be learned and practiced\, and that it’s never too late to say “yes!” to new experiences. Her message resonates with women who are navigating change\, seeking adventure\, or looking for fresh ways to feel more confident and capable in their own lives. \nJodie Hopkins is the author of Journey for One: A Guide to Gaining the Courage and Skills to Travel Solo and an advocate for women embracing independence. A former teacher and longtime solo traveler\, she draws on her experiences around the world to encourage women to step beyond their comfort zones and say yes to new possibilities. Through storytelling and practical insight\, Jodie inspires women to build confidence—on the road and in everyday life. Jodie’s confidence has grown through curiosity\, courage\, and small acts of bravery. Her writing and speaking focus on empowering women to step beyond their comfort zones—whether that means boarding a plane alone or simply choosing themselves more often.
