Solo, Not Unprepared
This space is dedicated to the practical side of planning and exploring on your own—especially as a woman. From local hiking trails to long-distance journeys such as the Camino de Santiago, you’ll find candid guidance on planning routes, choosing gear, managing safety, building confidence, and handling the unexpected. It's always fun to adventure with company, but why miss out on fabulous experiences on your own? The goal is not to pretend that solo adventure is risk-free or effortless, but to show how preparation, awareness, and experience can make it both manageable and deeply rewarding. Whether you are considering your first solo hike or preparing to walk hundreds of miles, this is a place for honest lessons, useful resources, and the encouragement to begin.
Upcoming Presentation Events:
Come and meet Lisa and participate in her sessions about walking the Camino de Santiago in France and Spain.
