There's been a lot of talk recently about the pros and cons of female solo travel after the New York Times released its adventurous alone attacked story late last month.

We'll make sure to link to that in the description too.

We spoke about the not-so-glamorous side of solo travel in October of last year,

and we wanted to resurface the episode,

which covers the tough moments of exploring alone as a female traveller that you don't see on Instagram.

And if you missed me and Megan talking about solo travel on WNYC's All of It Last Week,

you can find the link to that in the show notes too.

Thanks for listening.

Hi.

And this morning, because we're recording in the morning for once, We are joined by Megan Sparell, our community

editor. Hello. And our associate editor for city guides, Betsy Blumenthal. Hello. So this week,

we kind of wanted to circle back on a bunch of different episodes that we've done in the past where this has

we talk about how awesome solo travel is all the time, and it is.

It is so great.

But there are so many times that you don't see on social media and that we don't talk about where you do feel a little less excited to be alone when you're on the road.

So we kind of wanted to just go through how we kind of deal with being

lonely. Yeah. Yeah. Being sometimes when you're traveling by yourself, it's going to be lonely.
