Michael knows firsthand all the ins-and-outs of arranging and experiencing the journey of a lifetime and he tells you exactly how to achieve it, no matter what your age or income level. He also shares the insights of fellow solo travelers and the benefits they've reaped from going it alone.
STOP WAITING - START LIVINGMaybe you'd like to dive in crystal waters, walk on a black sand beach, ride horseback through the surf, play baccarat at midnight or pet a koala. Maybe your idea of a good time involves jogging at dawn or simply lying in a hammock listening to the palm fronds rustling. Maybe you'd like to dine in a five-star restaurant or perhaps you'd rather eat fish tacos on the beach instead.
We all tell ourselves stories about why we can't have what we want in life...we're too young, too old, too tied down, too broke... But the fact is, learning to travel solo will free you from these self-limiting beliefs.
You can see and do everything you want, the way you want, if you only have the courage to reach for it. The world is out there... waiting for you! Embrace your inner nomad and reap the rewards of increased confidence, happiness and self-reliance in every aspect of your life.
Whether you want to escape for a weekend, a month or a lifetime, learning to travel solo puts your dreams within your grasp.
Go for it.
