Solo Mom Adventure. Doesn’t that sound like the heavenly elixir you’ve been needing since giving birth to your kids?
Now before you allow that mom guilt to come flying in and cancel your solo travel plans immediately, allow me to help push that aside so you can deal with just the truth. You deserve it and your family will be okay!
Your kids and husband will be better off for it as you’ll return a refreshed and rejuvenated woman fully appreciating what you have at home.
Plus, you’re bound to bring back a souvenir or two for the kids, which will take away any of their evil eyes that cursed your leaving.
As Carl Jung says,

My First Solo Mom Trip
For a little context, most of the tips and stories in this post will be based on my recent trip to Greece for the TBEX conference. I presented a session on how to create a business that doesn’t solely on Google algorithms and like any good Australian, I used that opportunity to travel longer in Greece, exploring Athens and the Peloponnese peninsula.

It was my first solo trip in over 20 years, so it was equal parts daunting and thrilling. I’ve traveled on my own before, but as part of a larger blogger trip.
This vacation was an independent vacation where I was responsible for where I went and what I did. I loved it and plan to do more of it. I have already planned a trip to Banff in September to attend a retreat my friend is running!! (I also encourage my other half to do the same! Family breaks are vital to the wellbeing and mental health of everyone!)
