Kelly Lewis is an avid traveler with a love of writing. She’s also the founder of Go Girl Guides, a series of travel guides written by women specifically for women.
And by the way, if you’re a guy, then give it a listen because Kelly’s got travel advice for all of us. I learned a lot about solo female travel through this conversation, a subject that I think is important for everyone to understand how to approach as something more nuanced than just an issue of fear.
So, after growing up in Hawaii, Kelly spent time in New Zealand, the South Pacific, and South America — and has since been to 6 of the 7 continents, writing about her travels on her blog, TravelBugJuice.com
Kelly and I ran into each other in Mexico and i’m excited to bring to the show what is that she’s doing — which is encouraging and empowering women to experience the whole wide world.
What We Cover:
Why Kelly chose Thailand as her first independent destination.
How the idea for the guides actually came to Kelly in a dream.
Her most challenging personal experiences in South America as a solo-female traveler.
How to trust within boundaries. The world is good and people are good and will help you. But Kelly still covers the real fears and concerns so you're prepared to negotiate your travels on your own. Good advice for anyone.
What you can expect to find in Go Girl Guides.
Kelly's best travel advice!
