	Description:		Susan Marean’s first solo trip came from a tragic accident at the age of 25 years old. Susan took a plane ride by herself so that she could grieve a very sudden family loss. Now, fast forward 20 years later, Susan is a single mom of three boys, and decided it was time to take some time off and go on a transformative backpacking solo trip for two days. She came prepared, studied the maps, trusted her compass, and even got lost in the wilderness, but she can’t wait to go back and experience it all over again! Solo travel has helped her get a fresh reset to her life! Key Takeaways: Where was Susan in her life, when she decided to go on a solo vacation? Susan wanted to be alone to help her grieve and process a very traumatic accident that happened to the family. She was still in shock! How did Susan’s family help support each other during this tough time? What advice does Susan have for those who currently haven’t taken their time to fully grieve? Though, despite the tragedy, there is a happy ending to it all. After the death of Susan’s parents, it really shook Susan’s perspective on life up. She realized she had lost her identity. Susan was doing everything for everyone else, except herself. She was the perfect mom and wife. Susan went back to school and divorced her husband while she was in freshman year. Today, Susan has her Master’s degree, but she’s also a single mom with student loans. This was the first time Susan had ever been alone since she was 25-years old. So, she decided to take a two-day solo backpacking trip. At first, Susan was very worried about her safety from another person, not an animal. Susan ended up getting (slightly) lost in the middle of nowhere, and she began doubting herself. It’s so healthy to be able to get away and unplug yourself from the world. It’s important to travel with intention, but it’s just as important to travel with no expectations.
