How to Travel Solo Without Feeling Lonely
In this episode of Rich Life Diaries , Samantha Hurst gets real about solo travel — why she does it, how she handles loneliness on the road, and the strategies that make traveling alone actually enjoyable rather than isolating. Drawing on over a decade of solo trips, she shares her go-to loneliness fixes (calling a friend, sitting at the bar, throwing on music), plus her bigger-picture philosophy: she refuses to let other people's schedules dictate whether she gets to live her life. She also shares her practical solo travel playbook: booking group trips with solo days added on, trying a cruise, using Viator and Get Your Guide for excursions, and for women traveling alone, staying safe by sticking to secure destinations, being back before dark, and packing carry-on only.
