What if the freedom you’ve been waiting for doesn’t require permission from anyone else?
In this episode of No Cape Required, I’m joined by solo traveler, speaker, and podcaster Tsvety Roo—a woman who traded a high-powered New York City career for a one-way ticket and a life of exploration. With 22 countries lived in and more than 30 visited, Tsvety has turned fear into fuel, loneliness into solitude, and strangers into lifelong friends.
Together, we dive into:
✨ The 3 life-changing questions Tsvety asked herself before she made the leap
✨ Why solitude isn’t the same as loneliness—and how it can actually recharge you
✨ How to build meaningful connections while traveling alone (without feeling awkward)
✨ Practical safety tips every solo traveler should know
✨ The surprising benefits of shedding “stuff” and embracing a minimalist lifestyle
This isn’t just about travel. It’s about giving yourself permission to chase the dream you’ve been stifling—and discovering what’s possible on the other side of fear. Whether you’re dreaming of Paris, Peru, or just a weekend away by yourself, this conversation will inspire you to say yes to yourself.
Resources & Takeaways:
- Ask yourself: What makes me feel alive? What dream have I been stifling? What would happen if I gave myself permission to go after it?
- Walk with intention. Confidence is one of your best safety tools.
- Solo travel doesn’t mean “solo forever”—stay open to deep, meaningful connections.
