About The Midlife Traveler

At 52 I sold everything to travel solo.

I left my house, my belongings, and a life I thought I was supposed to live.

I found freedom and a new sense of belonging I didn’t know I was missing.

It’s honestly been an amazing journey.

What I do here:

I write for women 45+ who are ready to reinvent — women who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like it might be “too late.”

It isn’t too late :)

Here, you’ll find:

  • Stories from the road — raw moments of culture shock, kindness, fear, and joy.

  • 🧭 Practical tools — how to ease travel anxiety, choose safe and soulful lodging, or meet people as a solo woman.

  • 🌱 Guides for reinvention — nervous system resets, courage practices, and ways to live more freely, at home or abroad.

Start here:
Download my free guide The Truth About Solo Travel Over 45.

What you get as a subscriber:

  • Free subscribers → weekly stories + inspiration, plus access to my free guide The Truth About Solo Travel Over 45.

  • Paid subscribers → toolkits, deep dives, and my full library of reinvention resources. You’ll also be the first to get new courses and guides.


Why I Do This

Because I know what it feels like to wonder:

Am I too old? Too late? Too stuck?

I know the freedom and joy on the other side.

When you say a big, fat yes to your real self.

If you’re a woman 45+ dreaming of freedom, travel, or simply a more authentic life, this space is for you.

Warmly,

Nancy
