Description
Have you dreamed of a fabulous travel adventure, and then given up when you couldn't find someone to go with? Have you imagined a fantastic solo trip to an exotic locale, only to be stopped by your fears? Has society's subtle message that women shouldn't travel alone kept you from giving in to your wanderlust? What would you do if you lost your phone or credit card?
What is an e-sim? What is a VPN? What is an RFID wallet?

Testimonials
This would be one of the best courses I've ever done. It was full of very practical and useful tips that will make a big difference to any future travel for me. Sharon was professional and friendly and she made sure that everyone had a chance to join in and share their stories. Judy.
Kia ora, just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed this course today. Sharon was wonderful - she covered heaps of issues and lots of things I hadn’t thought of and allowed plenty of opportunities for questions. It was also great to meet all the women who attended.
