Best moments:
"Traveling with friends gave me the confidence to eventually think, oh, maybe I can just do this on my own."
"Once you've done it once, there's no way you're not doing that again."
"The best laid plans can still go awry, but you survive the curveballs."
"Most people are too busy, you know, consumed in their own lives or, you know, they might glance over at you. They probably won't even, you know, they might glance over and think, oh, she's on her own. And then they go back to whatever they're doing. They're not thinking any more about it."
"Put a book on the table and pretend to read it if you like and people watch over the top of it."
"The 60 something % of mature women, so the men that are solo traveling these days. It's more women and it's more older women from like 50 up."
