    As a woman who has often traveled solo myself, I loved Jen's message. I've had experiences I never would have had with a traveling companion.

    Yes!!! Having no obligations is such a privilege. Take that time to travel alone and fall in love with spending time with just yourself.

    This girl went to one of the most popular places in Greece, itself one of the most visited countries in the world, took an organised tour and feels like she just traversed the Greenland icecap solo. Im delighted she enjoyed herself, but does this stuff warrant a TED talk these days?!

    Life is about to know that you have a family, travel alone or not. Is about to feel fulfillment that you can be proud to be a Puerto Rican women and the daughter of a father that miss you too much.

    Awesome!!!
    I did a lot of solo travel in my teens, 20s and early 30s.
    Then marriage and kids.
    We do a lot of family travel.....but nothing as exciting as solo travel.

    What a wonderful presentation. I laughed out loud. Clam capacity :-) I agree to every word. I travelled for years as a solo traveller. And solo traveller magic is a real thing! What a wonderful talent for story telling you have. I feel I'm a lucky person finding myself on the same bus by change as you where in Ostrava, Czech republic.
