Sick of feeling scared? Me too.

For many of us, fear is our go-to emotion. It’s not our fault: fear is hard-wired into our brains, to help us survive as a species. And sure, constant vigilance can keep us from being eaten by wild animals or run over by a car… but it can also keep us from truly living.

Don’t let fear keep you at home. The question “but what if?” can prevent us from embarking on the adventure of a lifetime, like cycling coast to coast or backpacking through foreign countries. It encourages us to wait, until it’s the right time, or until we’re “braver.” Fear can delay our wildest dreams.

This isn’t your typical “solo female travel” blog. You’re not gonna see Instagram models in flowy dresses and giant hats ‘round here. We’re Adventuresses: a tribe of badass, vulnerable, over-sharers. We tackle real questions, like:

Am I brave enough to travel alone?

What can I tell my parents to help them feel better?

Are solo adventures only for crazy people?

How will I keep myself safe?

How will I know when I’m ready?

The first step is simple, but deceptively tricky: We’ve gotta tackle our everyday, pervasive fears, so we can get ready for that once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

It’s time, girlfriend. Grab a glass of wine, a mug of chamomile tea, or whatever helps you calm the *bleep* down, because we’re gonna talk about chilling out, finding balance, and going the distance. Let’s inspire one another to overcome fear - one adventure at a time.

Because even when we’re traveling solo, we’re never alone: we’ve got each other.

You ready, Adventuress?
