As a midlife woman, do you often want to travel to places you’ve never been but you can’t seem to find a traveling partner? Have you had visions of traveling solo but were afraid to make that leap? On today’s show, I chat with Jennifer Buccholz. Jennifer is a proponent of midlife women traveling solo . . . so much so that she built a business around it: Transform Via Travel.
For Jennifer, traveling solo was a game changer. We chat about Jennifer’s philosophy on women traveling solo, the importance and advantages of traveling solo, and Jennifer gives great trips on how you can make the most out of your travel.
