Travel Stories from Solo Female Travelers
About this session:
Solo travel is one of the best ways to face your fears, step out of your comfort zone and meet interesting people along the way. All of this leads to learning more about yourself and the destinations you visit on your adventures abroad. But what’s it like to travel solo as a female? During this session, we will dive into the topics surrounding solo female travel – the good, the bad, and all that in-between! Two globetrotting ladies will share their reality of solo female travel in hopes of encouraging other women to embark on their own solo, life-changing adventures!

Mack Lawrence
Mack is a 25-year-old female solo-traveler who was tired of seeing all the picture-perfect travel photos on Instagram. She took her first solo trip back in 2018 and quickly realized travel is not like what you see on social media… so she decided to do something about it.
Mack started the Sweaty Traveler Podcast where she talks about everything travel… the good, the bad, and yes… the sweaty. She brings you awesome guests from around the world who tell you they’re crazy travel stories, making travel more of a reality than just a edited Instagram picture. When Mack isn’t interviewing guests you can find her on a plane (or in her bed) with her laptop and phone running her social media agency where she helps small businesses build their brand and grow their audience
