Are you tired of waiting on everyone else to be able to travel? Does solo travel strike fear in your heart, but you want more freedom in your life? Do you spend too much time coming up with excuses for why you can't travel instead of reasons why you can and should?

Manjinder Kang, or "Manny," is a seasoned solo traveler with nearly two decades of experience exploring 37 countries. A full-time professional and self-proclaimed introvert, Manny wants everyone to know that if he can do it, so can you.

In this episode, Manny and I explore the beauty and challenges of solo travel. From navigating cultural differences to fostering meaningful connections and embracing spontaneity on shorter trips, Manny offers actionable advice and inspiring stories for travelers at all stages.
