    Repetitive
    I feel like she just repeats the same content over and over again, in different forms. We’re constantly hearing about the same solo trips she’s taken.. how she was able to hike Peru or her first trip being to Turkey, etc… it’s never new information

    Vague and surface level
    I was really anticipating a bit more depth in this travel podcast. How does a host recommend visiting a women’s film fest in Kyoto, state they don’t know when the film festival happens each year, and then recommend travelers go to the festival if they’re in Kyoto during that time. Well… that made zero sense and was pointless. Also, jumping from one country to the next with no real data or depth, just stating one thing that is interesting to do there and moving on. Kinda feels like sideways cliffs notes. I’m hoping I can keep looking around and find a travel podcast that makes more sense for me. I’m sure this may be a good podcast for some others.

    Phone service abroad
    I have just started listening to this podcast and have gained a few nuggets. I would really like to know how you handle phone service in other countries. I don’t know that I want to spend an extra $10 per day plus possible roaming charges. Please educate me on how you deal with phones!
  • Driver Mel
    Too much upspeak
    Not a big fan of her speaking style. Like nails on a chalkboard. Too much upspeak and vocal fry

    Scratching my travel itch!
    I love Sara’s Solo Travel Woman Podcast! She has wonderful recommendations! When I go in a solo trip or a trip with my gal pals, will definitely listen to an episode (or few!) to prepare! I highly recommend her podcast. The content is very engaging and helpful. Way to go Sara with 15K listeners! Cannot wait for many many more! - Angindnvr

    Makes me want to go explore the world
    She has amazing tips and with real life experience, she knows exactly what’s she’s talking about. @ashmun1004
  • kerry_mcgovern
    5 stars no doubt.
    I feel as the desire to travel and explore is at the top of my list but the not knowing where to start or how to effectively travel is what stops me. This podcast has given me that reassurance i need to just do it and travel but travel smart. Life’s too Short and these podcasts are way too good!
  • Lmbisa

    Love this podcast!
    I’ve been really into traveling lately, exploring the idea of solo travel and road trips. Sara’s tips and recommendations are awesome and I finally am getting comfortable with the idea of going alone. A must listen for anyone who wants to see all of the things whether it’s with others or just alone! (@brookesinger)

    Sara is awesome. Loved chatting with her and love that she’s smashing stereotypes to empower women to solo travel. So amazing to hear stories of growth, taking risks to do what you love, and the adventures that happen when you travel solo.
