Solo in Six
You've been saying "someday" for long enough.
Maybe life got in the way: a marriage, a career, children, caring for someone else. Maybe you lost yourself somewhere in the middle of all of it. Maybe you'd love to travel alone but a quiet voice keeps telling you that you're too old, too nervous, or too far behind to start now.
That voice is lying to you.
Solo in Six is a six-month workbook for women in midlife and beyond who want to travel independently and need a structured, honest, compassionate guide to get there. Not someday. Within six months. It's closer to a course than a book, exercises and prompts that move you from thinking about it to having actually done it, at your own pace.
Written by Penny Scott, who began solo travelling in her fifties after her divorce, starting with a dental trip to Turkey and ending up alone in the mountains of Argentina. This workbook takes you from where you are now to your first real solo trip, one month at a time.
Each month includes:
- A memoir excerpt from Penny's own journey
- An emotional reality check that meets you where you actually are
- A practical coaching exercise
- Monthly tasks, journal prompts, and a milestone tracker
Six months. Six chapters. One trip.
Month 1 — Who were you before you stopped being you?
Month 2 — The voice in your head is lying to you
Month 3 — Money, health and all the practical fears
Month 4 — Your first real trip (even if it's just overnight)
Month 5 — Learning to be alone without being lonely
Month 6 — You are a solo traveller now
This is not a travel guide. It's a confidence guide that happens to end with you boarding a plane.
