Hey, everyone. You're listening to Women Who Travel, a podcast from Kondaynast Traveler

that digs deep into the realities of traveling as a woman today and celebrates why we'll

never stay home. I'm Meredith Carey, and this week, my co-host, Laleararra Koglu, is enjoying a

much-needed vacation. But I've gathered some of

travelers, other crack editors, Andrea Whittle. Hello. And Megan Sorrell. Hi. To chat through some

last minute summer travel ideas. When we were coming to sit down for this, we all realized that we

have been procrastinating this ourselves. So hopefully this will help everyone kind of figure out what they're doing.

So trust us that we know what we're doing because we're in the middle of this right now.

But a starter question that I had because when I was sitting down to play in my trips, I kind of had this question.

I love solo travel. We've talked about solo travel over and over again on this podcast.

But is solo travel harder in the summer?

I would say it's easier. Like it's, if you're doing a last minute trip or you're planning a last

minute trip, it's a lot easier to get one person somewhere a month before you are planning to go

than it is to get a group of four friends or a family of five or eight or whatever.

I don't know.

How are we defining solo travel?

Is that like traveling by yourself to like a place you've never been?

Or like traveling by yourself to visit people?

To me, it's like, you know, in the winter and in the fall, I think, okay, if I'm going to

England by myself, it's going to be kind of gray,

so I can spend a lot of time by myself in restaurants, in museums, like, in galleries.

Like, that's not weird.
