Hi everyone,

Please welcome with me Lindsay Mukaddam from the US. Lindsay is a passionate solo traveler who also curates incredible group trips, primarily for women—but anyone is welcome to join. Her mission is to inspire people to stop waiting for friends or family to travel with them and instead take the leap to book the trip themselves.

In this episode, I chat with Lindsay, founder of One Girl Wandering, about how she discovered solo travel while married and realized the importance of challenging herself and stepping outside her comfort zone to keep growing. After a less-than-ideal trip with a friend, she took the leap into solo travel in 2017—and never looked back.

Lindsay, who has lived with major anxiety, shares how solo travel has played a big role in helping her manage it. Over time, she’s gained confidence and even embraced spontaneity—something that once felt impossible. Her biggest advice for aspiring solo travelers? Start small—dining out alone, exploring a nearby town, or visiting a museum solo can build confidence. She also opens up about how solo travel has positively impacted her marriage, allowing her to pursue her own adventures while strengthening her relationship.

Now, Lindsay curates extraordinary group travel experiences, from spotting polar bears in Canada to attending a masquerade ball in Versailles. Her One Girl Wandering community continues to grow, with many travelers returning for more unforgettable journeys. Tune in to hear her insights on solo travel, community, and making bucket-list dreams a reality!
