Welcome to Another Episode of the Women in the Middle Podcast
Today’s episode is all about the practical advice regarding two ways to travel solo for midlife women with Janice Waugh.
Driven by a passion for travel and a deep understanding of the needs of those who journey alone, Janice Waugh is the founder, publisher, and a key contributor to Solo Traveler, the leading resource for solo travelers worldwide. Inspired by her own experiences traveling solo, Janice created Solo Traveler to offer practical advice, inspiration, and community to those who set out on their own.
Janice’s professional path blends entrepreneurship, writing, and a lifelong love of exploration. She co-founded a successful trade show and conference business in 1988, which she and her husband grew and sold to a multinational company in 1999. Following the sale, she spent 10 transformative months traveling with her family, fuelling her appreciation for how travel connects and shapes us. A few years later, her husband passed, the children flew the nest, and she was traveling solo.
Since then, Janice has built Solo Traveler into a trusted community and vibrant resource, helping hundreds of thousands of people embrace the freedom, growth, and joy that solo travel offers.
Solo Traveler offers the only list of tours and cruises for solo travelers with no or low single supplement. There are typically over 100 trips advertised.
Tracey’s List is a shortlist of carefully curated tours and cruises offering great deals and inspiration. It is delivered every month by Solo Traveler’s meticulous, luxury-loving, deal-seeking editor.
If you love to travel and are curious if solo travel is for you, you’re not going to want to miss this episode!
