Many retirees picture travel as the ultimate reward — the long-awaited trip, the scenic tour, the cruise booked for two. But what happens when you’re ready to go and there’s no one to go with you? Whether your partner doesn’t want to travel, can’t retire yet, or you’re simply navigating this chapter solo, the dream of seeing the world can quickly feel complicated by logistics, costs, and unspoken worries about safety. But what if it's not?
Travel advisor Alyssa joins Matt to explain why the conventional approach to travel often fails solo retirees — and what to do instead. She breaks down the real price of traveling alone, including the often-overlooked “single supplement” fee, and how certain cruise lines and tour groups are finally catering to solo travelers over 50. More than just tips, this conversation reveals how to find confidence, community, and security when you’re the only one planning the trip.
