The Confidence-Boosting Power of Solo Travel (Pack the Lingerie, Book the Trip, Say Yes to It All)
Have you ever stopped yourself from doing something you really wanted—just because you didn’t have a plus-one? Or maybe you convinced yourself it wasn’t the right time, or that you wouldn’t pull it off?
That used to be me too. Until I decided that life is too short to wait. For a pal. For a permission slip. For the perfect timing. 🎟️
Now? When an exhibition, a gig, or an experience calls my name—I book it. When an artist I love is showing in another city, I go. When I crave the electric buzz of a bigger city, I don’t hesitate. Because some of the most empowering, electrifying, life-affirming experiences happen when you go it alone.
Here’s what I’ve discovered through the confidence-boosting power of solo travel…
The Magic of Saying Yes
Here’s the real magic: confidence isn’t something you find—confidence is created the moment you decide to show up for yourself. ✨
That’s something the Glow-Up Goddess (one of my iconic lingerie muses) understands instinctively. She doesn’t stumble into confidence; she chooses it.
She sets the intention for who she’s becoming and steps into that energy—fully. Whether it’s her lingerie, her travel plans, or the way she walks into a room, she curates experiences that elevate, empower, and expand who she is.
Every. Single. Day.
Curating Confidence Like a Wardrobe
That’s exactly what I did on a recent London trip—I curated it with purpose, just like I curate my wardrobe.
I immersed myself in the glamour of the Naomi Campbell exhibition at the V&A, soaked in the history of Vogue’s ‘Between the Covers’ installation, and stepped into a world of fashion, photography, fun, and pure indulgence.
But it wasn’t just about going somewhere.
It was about who I became while I was there.
(Personal tip: Setting myself photo challenges is my favourite way to flex my confidence-boosting muscle—capturing glimpses of who I am and who I’m becoming!) 📸
Your Next Solo Adventure Starts Now
And guess what? You don’t have to wait for a big trip to claim that kind of confidence.
Your next solo adventure could be as simple as:
✨ Taking yourself on a cocktail date (and striking up a conversation with a stranger)
✨ Booking that experience you’ve been eyeing—no plus-one required
✨ Wearing the lingerie that makes you feel unstoppable, just because.
Because confidence doesn’t just happen.
You build it. You claim it. You step into it—intentionally.
What’s Your Next Yes?
So, here’s your challenge: What’s the thing you’ve been waiting to do?
Is it a trip? An outfit? An adventure?
Say yes to it.
Because if the Glow-Up Goddess has one rule, it’s this: she never waits for permission.
And neither should you.
Your personal Reinventress.
