I have been travelling alone since my divorce 12 years ago. The first solo trip can be challenging and scary if you choose to do it. My first trip was a roadtrip down to New Mexico. A place I had always wanted to visit. I spent 90% of my time alone driving and crying. This was a healing trip for me.
I saw some beautiful sites. Taos, Sante Fe and many native sights through Northern New Mexico. The petrified forest, Sedona and the Grand Canyon in Arizona. Byrce Canyon, Zion National parks In southern Utah. When I arrived back into British Columbia Canada I felt lighter. The trip had allowed me to grieve and start healing from my divorce.
My next trip was to have a “new” Christmas experience so I flew to NewYork City for 4 days. It was an enlightening trip for me. Exploring somewhere new, somewhere I had always wanted to go. I totally enjoyed myself with walking tours, seeing the Christmas decorations, skating in Rockefeller Center, having a cocktail on Christmas Eve, enjoying the Rockets and Jersey Boys at Radio City Music Hall.
I felt safe walking the streets of New York, checking out Time Square and even had a psychic reading. The trip was originally made as a distraction from past Christmas traditions, however once I got there I had a fabulous time and that trip inspired me to do more solo travelling.
