Hey everyone 🤍 I’m so excited to share that the first 4 core modules of Solo Roads & Saltwater Souls are officially live. This foundation was created to gently guide you from “I want to solo travel, but I’m not sure how or if I’m ready” → “I feel grounded, confident, and excited to take my next step.” Here’s how everything flows inside the community: ✨ The Learning Path (Start Here) Module 1: Start HereThis is your grounding point. Watch this first so you understand how the community works, how to move through the content, and how to get the most out of being here. Module 2: Find Your Travel FlowThis module is about mindset, confidence, and discovering your version of solo travel — not what social media says it should look like. Module 3: Build Your Dream ItineraryWe take things from vision into reality. Destinations, budgets, pacing, and planning in a way that feels aligned (not overwhelming). Module 4: Dive DeeperThis is where we slow down and connect — to the ocean, to ourselves, and to the deeper “why” behind travel and water-based adventures. Each module has resources, journals, checklists, and templates designed to support you as you move through it. 💬 Important: The Conversations Tab Inside every video lesson, you’ll notice a CTA that sends you to the Conversations tab. This is intentional. This community isn’t meant to be something you passively consume — it’s meant to be experienced together. The conversations are where: - Reflections come to life - Confidence builds through shared stories - You realize you’re not alone in how you feel You’re always welcome to share as much or as little as feels comfortable — even one sentence is more than enough. 🧭 How to Use This Space There’s no rush here, no “falling behind.” No right or wrong pace. Move through the modules intuitively. Use the resources when you need them. Join conversations when it feels aligned. This space is here to support you — not pressure you. Thank you for being here at the very beginning of this journey 🤍

Up until leaving the house, you have lived under the protective umbrella of your parental figures. Decisions were made in collaboration with them, whether that is monetary and financial or whether it's as simple as asking permission to do what you want to do. It seems that your parents get the financial say over everything you do. And that’s probably frustrating. The thought in your mind might be that once you have money and your finances in order then traveling makes sense. Money and affordability is often an issue for young Americans like you who desire to travel. People often ask, “But how can you afford that?” I acknowledge that between rent, school payments, socialization, and whatever else you purchase money is challenging; however, traveling is much cheaper than we anticipate, especially if you're willing to go with the flow, not extreme luxury, and have the ability to manage your money. I have been to many different countries at twenty-three and I wouldn't be the person I am today without those experiences. Trips, when you’re young, provide a sense of freedom most of you wouldn’t even believe we can give to ourselves at this age. This may be the only time we have minimal attachments or responsibilities keeping us tied down. Traveling as a young adult bursts the small bubble that you’ve been living in the first two decades of your life and provides a realization that there's more to life than what you know as Jen Welch describes. All too often I hear that young adults have never been outside of their home country, have never experienced other cultures, and have never decided to step outside their comfort zone and see the amazing places this world has to offer. I understand the hesitation surrounding traveling, especially as a developing adult like yourself. Planning a trip to your desired location without any previous knowledge of how to make it happen, where to go, and what to do can be extremely daunting, often causing young adults to stray away from even the possibility of an abroad vacation.
