It is so good to be back with you after my six-week break.  During those six weeks, I traveled to Jamaica and then just needed some extra time to rest and recharge. I hope you enjoyed the past few weeks and some of our favorite throwback episodes. I am excited for more solo and guest interviews coming your way soon. Today I want to talk about solo travel.  This has been a highly requested topic so I wanted to do this episode for everyone that has reservations about solo travel, are thinking about solo travel, or maybe you got back from a solo travel trip and are thinking that you got this all wrong. Solo travel is a hot topic because not everyone is going to be down for the trip and the budget that you may have. In this episode, I am going to give you some tips on why you should do it and how to make the most of it.

What Are Your Relationship Values? with Renee Bolton

This podcast episode is very personal, transparent, and reflective.  This month is the year anniversary of the global pandemic of COVID-19 and the year 2020 that changed all of our lives.  As I am reflecting back on where I was at this time last year, it has really brought up for me a lot of the lessons I have learned in 2020 and especially the positive things that came out of the year. When I think about where I was this time last year, it was pretty crazy.  It was around this time last year that the city started to shut down and it was one of the last weekends that I was getting together with friends.  A week later everything started to change. In this episode, I really just wanted to share what came out of 2020 for me. Check out the full shownotes here.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/travelprayslay/support
