The Art of Solo Travel: How I Romanticize My Life Abroad
By The Broker Who Travels
I used to think travel had to be shared to be special.
Then I booked a one-way ticket, checked into a boutique hotel by myself, and fell in love—with me.
Solo travel isn’t lonely.
It’s the art of becoming your own muse.
It’s choosing the window seat, the champagne, the ocean view—not because someone is watching, but because you are worthy of the experience.
The way I travel now is intentional.
It’s soft.
It’s luxurious.
And it’s mine.
This Is How I Romanticize My Life
I don’t wait for a travel partner.
I don’t dim my light when I arrive somewhere new.
I curate the experience I deserve—and I make it beautiful.
This is your invitation to do the same.
Goddess Energy, Activated this is Greece
In Greece, I live like a myth. Flowing white dresses, golden light, long lunches with wine and sea views. I walk through Santorini’s winding streets alone but never lonely. I make eye contact. I journal in cafés. I buy myself roses and wear them in my hair.
Solo Luxury Tip: Book a cliffside suite with a plunge pool. Pack that dress you said you’d save for “someday.” Today is the day.
My Muse Essentials:
[Jet Set Edit linen maxi dress]
[Villaway villa rental]
A floral perfume oil
Amex Platinum for lounge access + upgrades
Date Yourself in the City of Love (I took myself her for Valentine Day)
There’s nothing quite like ordering a glass of champagne at a corner bistro table in Paris just for you. Or dinner at an iconic restaurant trying something new. I’ve taken myself to the ballet, wandered through antique bookshops, and dined by candlelight alone. And you know what? I felt beautiful the whole time.
Solo Luxury Tip: Always pack a statement coat and a red lip. Paris adores confidence.
My Muse Essentials:
[Tablet Hotels boutique stay]
[Skincare minis + red lipstick]
[OSEA glow serum]
Jet Set Edit trench coat + silk scarf
Bali – A Return to Self
I started my year in Bali, January 2nd to be exact. Bali is where I recalibrate. I start the day barefoot in a garden, sipping tea after sunrise yoga. I take sound baths. I write. I release. Solo travel in Bali is more than an dventure—it’s about healing and finding yourself. I feel connected to my softness and my strength all at once.
Solo Luxury Tip: Book a wellness retreat or Airbnb with jungle views. Let nature hold you while you realign.
My Muse Essentials:
[GetYourGuide retreat booking]
[Gua sha + body oil]
A linen robe + grounding playlist

Amsterdam – Art, Ease & Inner Glow
In Amsterdam, I wander the canals with no agenda. It's really that type of vibe. I rent a bike and feel the breeze against my skin. Can you remember the last time you rode a bike? I spend hours in art museums, have solo brunch at a flower-filled café, tulips happen to be my favorite, and toast myself with rosé at golden hour. Amsterdam is freedom dressed in soft light.
Solo Luxury Tip: Book a design-forward hotel or canal-side Airbnb. Indulge in culture, charm, and a cozy coat.
My Muse Essentials:
[Booking.com for boutique hotels]
[Wool wrap coat + Jet Set Edit layered neutrals]
Solo safety jewelry or tracker
[Chase Sapphire card] for global protection + rewards
