Banter and BeyondNot Lost, Just Wandering on My Own TermsEver wondered what it’s like to take off on your own, with no plus one, no packed itinerary for someone else, just a little brave curiosity? In this solo episode (fittingly!), Natalie is reflecting on the beauty of solo travel, what it taught her, and why it might be exactly what you need, too. From chasing art history in Rome to swimming solo in the South of France, to realizing that moving abroad might not be so far-fetched after all, this is a love letter to independence, intuition, and the power of going alone.2025-05-1629 minBanter and BeyondWe AskedIn this episode of Banter and Beyond "We Asked"...a lot of questions.
