Exploring the world on your own can seem quite scary, but Ashlee Major-Moss didn’t let the fear stop her from following her dream. Her life turned upside down after she summoned the courage to embark on her first solo trip, and she’s been exploring the world ever since.
Before becoming a successful travel influencer, Major-Moss hit a rough patch after losing her job, her relationship, and her sense of self. Traveling the world helped her get back on her feet, and her first solo trip to Singapore and Malaysia was a huge turning point.
“I planned my itinerary, did everything I wanted, and overcame my initial fears of being alone in a foreign place. BUT I made 0 friends LOL! I was really scared to talk to people and made the huge mistake of staying in hotels the whole time. But I still absolutely loved it,” she wrote on her official website.
Her mindset shifted during her second solo trip, and she decided to open herself up to new people and new experiences while spending six months backpacking through Asia. She’s now using the power of social media to share her adventures with 170,000 Instagram followers and encourage other women to take the leap of faith and embark on an epic solo adventure.
