Join your host Marisol for weekly encouraging conversations centered around solo traveling, dating, and pep-talks for when you might need them.
My goal for this podcast is to provide a judgement free zone for unfiltered conversations where I’ll share my own experience as a solo woman traveler, bring along friends to share their own wild traveling stories, and build a community for us to continue to grow and learn from each other.
I’m so excited you’re here. I hope you’ll join me on this adventure.
Get a look at where I’ve been and where I’m going. You can find me @weregoingonatrippodcast

Welcome back to 'We're Going on a Trip' Thank you for being here!

This is especially true for how I like to approach traveling and on new adventures. I'll dive into what I feel is the definition of romanticizing your life, ideas of how you too can romanticize moments and why it's important to feel empowered and feel like the main character in your life.

Welcome back to ‘We’re Going on a Trip’
If you’ve ever thought that you have to be rich or have lots of money to travel you are mistaken.
Finding cheap flights, affordable accommodations and fun and budget conscious activities is easier than ever. Planning and coordinating a budget trip will require time to plan but with some flexibility, an open mind and your imagination, you can experience an unforgettable trip.
On this episode I’ll be sharing all of my top tips for traveling on a budget. From how to secure cheap flights, how to save on accommodations and food, and how you can also experience a life changing trip on a budget.
I also talk about my solo trip to New York City where I will be taking a nearly 3,000 mile train ride back home to the Bay Area. Listen in to hear about what I am packing to ride the California Zephyr.

Ep. 2 - How to Prepare for a Safe Solo Trip
Welcome back to the 'We're Going on Trip' Podcast.
On this week's episode I’ll be sharing all of my practical safety tips and advice I have for solo travelers. A lot of these tips also apply to anyone going on a trip where you will be staying in a hotel, Airbnb or if you are visiting a new city or country that you are not familiar with.
I break the tips and advice into three different segments.
First I will discuss some easy ways to prep for your trip like how to find the right neighborhood for you to stay in. I will then talk about a few things you should be doing a few days before your trip (i.e 'unlocking' your phone). Finally I will share tips for what you should be doing throughout the trip (spoiler: don't share social media posts with your location in real time).
If you find this episode insightful, I hope you will share it with your friends so that they are also in the know.
I hope you will feel empowered to go on your own solo adventures. I'm here to provided encouragement. Feel free to reach out to me via Instagram. My handle is @weregoingonatrippodcast
