Updated 7-26-2026

I travel alone. I am a solo woman traveler 50+. To help people plan their trips, here are my travel itineraries. The itineraries are from real trips. If you have the time, please share with us the routes you use.  We hope that by copying my plans, your travel planning will be more straightforward. The tips are straightforward for relaxed travel.  I sincerely hope the itineraries help you with your travel planning.

Itineraries – Best Solo Travel at all Stages of Life

Make planning easier. My routes save time and avoid the ‘painful vacations.’

Planning is the most cumbersome and time-consuming part of travel. Therefore, some people make no plans. If you want to avoid the problems from not planning, try these itineraries. Remember, do whatever comes your way that is safe. Some spontaneity makes travel more fun.

The Non-Plan Itinerary

Some people like to plan every detail. I don’t. I usually buy my ticket with a departure and a return date; I consider this a plan. With one or two hotel nights booked, I can decide whether to upgrade. The reason for this is that all 4-star hotels are not the same. By doing this, when I get to the destination, my plan can change. This travel tip is an important one. My reason for this is that I have to be comfortable. I have to get a good night’s sleep to enjoy my trip. The wrong hotel can ruin a vacation. Therefore, these tips are part of my final itinerary. These are the trips that worked out well.

Remember, when you get to your final destination, you can always change your plans or make course corrections. Make the most out of your vacation. When an issue arises, fix it. Then move on to the fun part of travel. Don’t let the little things get you down. Just move on to happier times.

Itineraries – Learn How to Plan Trips

Tip Warning: If your traveling we want you to know that everyone, everywhere isn’t fluent in English. Please don’t expect this. In most cases, I don’t find language to be a barrier. Google helps!

Tip Warning:

Be sure your health can handle travel. Then check for global epidemics. Other local conditions for your final destination may affect your journey. Check for local health outbreaks. Remember to be aware of religious holidays. Check on the weather.

Last but not least, if traveling internationally, check for State Department warnings. Therefore, the best place to check before going abroad is the CDC website. Also, check for political situations with STEP.

Be flexible.

My itineraries, tips, and trips are always real. My destinations and how I got there are truthful and not paid endorsements. Additionally, my contributor friends share their trip plans too. You may feel travel plans need to be specific. I hope these are specific yet offer the freedom to seize spontaneous moments.

If you are still unsure, consider joining a single-travel group or small-group tours without individual supplement fees.
