But what if you’re not ready to book? What if you have a strong desire to travel solo but feel uncertain, scared, or overwhelmed? That’s where a travel coach like me comes in.
Let me explain the difference.
Travel Advisor vs. Travel Coach
A travel advisor wants to help you book a trip. That’s how most earn their commission—by setting up your travel arrangements. Their focus is often: flights, hotels, packages, and itineraries.
But a travel coach?
A travel coach helps you unpack your travel history (or lack thereof), your hopes, your hesitations, and your personal obstacles so you can confidently design a travel life that works for you.
Whether you’ve never traveled alone before or you’re a seasoned solo adventurer who is ready to up your game learning the latest insider secrets and tips, coaching goes beyond mere booking and gets to the heart of what’s holding you back—and how to move forward.
What a Travel Coach Actually Does
When you work with me as your travel coach, I’m not going to ask you to name where you’re going and what your budget is in the first 5minutes. Instead, I’m going to ask:
- What’s your past travel experience?
- Have you ever traveled solo?
- What excites you—and what scares you—about taking a trip on your own?
- What does freedom look like to you?
We dig into your inner landscape first. I’ll help you clarify what kind of experience you actually want to have—not what’s trending on social media or what your friends are doing. Together, we’ll explore your answers to big questions like:
- How can I afford to travel?
We’ll talk through budgeting, using my custom travel cost spreadsheet, and smart ways to pay for trips so you can make travel part of your lifestyle, not just a one-time thing.
- How do I stay safe when I’m traveling solo?
I’ve traveled safely for decades and will share the real-life, no-fluff safety strategies I use that go far beyond the basics. - How do I even begin planning a trip when it’s just me?
I’ll walk you through how to choose a destination, create a meaningful itinerary, and find joy in the freedom of making every decision based on what you want to do.
Experience The Pure JOY of Traveling Solo—with Me, Joy
Now let’s talk about what’s truly unique about working with me.
I’m Joy—literally and figuratively. I’ve been traveling solo safely for decades, and I’ve made it my mission to help women discover the freedom and fulfillment (not to mention FUN!) that comes with going it alone—at least for a weekend getaway or a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
I’m not just passionate about you live life fully. I’m professionally trained in coaching individuals through Coach U, one of the premier coaching programs in the world. That means I don’t just tell you what to do—I coach you through your thought process. I listen deeply. I ask the powerful questions. I acknowledge your experience. And I help you strategize a path forward that feels right to you.
Why Invest in a Travel Coach?
Spending $200 on a private coaching session with me is about like paying for one night’s hotel stay—but the valuable insights and confidence you’ll gain will last lots longer than one night.
You’ll leave our session with:
- Practical, personalized tips that fit your life and travel goals
- Newfound clarity on where to begin or how to take your travel to the next level
- Safety strategies and planning tools tailored to solo female travelers
- Renewed confidence and excitement about what’s possible
And most importantly, you’ll leave knowing you’re not doing this alone—you’ve got a guide who gets it and who’s walked the path ahead of you.
