Description:

Kate Wills is a freelance travel journalist who writes for The Guardian, The Times, Vogue and The Telegraph, to name a few. She’s also the author of A Trip Of One's Own: Hope, Heartbreak and Why Travelling Solo Could Change Your Life.


As an avid solo traveller, Kate always found travelling alone liberating. But after her marriage ended, travelling provided her with the escapism, inspiration, and comfort she needed as well as the chance to experience a different way of life. 


Today on The Wallet: 


1/ Since we still can’t travel as freely as we’re used to, Kate shares how we can replicate that excitement and sense of adventure from home, and the benefits that come from stepping out of our comfort zone. 


2/ We discuss how changes in her lifestyle helped Kate take control of her finances after her divorce, and how by opening up to friends about her financial situation the conversation around money has become a lot less loaded.


3/ Kate offers her best travel tips for managing and budgeting money while abroad, as well as how to save for trips and how travelling alone has helped her to be more mindful, resourceful and resilient.
