Hi, I’m Bridget — founder of The Solo Departure Lounge.

Have you been quietly dreaming about taking a solo trip, but find yourself wondering where to start, how to plan it all, or whether you’d feel confident doing it alone? For many women over 50, the thought of solo travel can feel exciting and overwhelming at the same time.

With over 10 years of solo travel experience, I now help women like you feel more confident, prepared, and excited about exploring the world independently — in a way that feels safe, comfortable, and truly enjoyable.

I understand the worries that can come with travelling alone later in life because I’ve experienced them myself. But over the years, solo travel and trip planning have become second nature to me, and now I love sharing that knowledge with other women who are ready for a new adventure.

Through our one-to-one mentor calls, I’ll support you every step of the way — whether you’re planning your very first solo getaway or looking for inspiration for your next adventure. Together, we’ll create a trip that suits your pace, your budget, and your personal style of travel.

I’ll help you avoid the common mistakes, reduce the overwhelm, and save you hours of endless research and uncertainty. Most importantly, I want you to feel reassured that solo travel is absolutely possible at this stage of life — and it can be one of the most empowering and rewarding experiences you’ll ever have.

To get something you never had, you have to do something you’ve never done.
