Why Married Women Travel Solo – Embracing Their Bucket List and Owning Their Journey Beyond 40

When your travel dreams go beyond the resort.

More married women are stepping out solo—and loving every minute of it. According to a 2022 Road Scholar report, over 60% of solo travelers were married women traveling without their spouses. Why this trend? Many partners either don’t share the same travel interests (40%) or aren’t as keen on traveling (42%). This isn't about marital issues—it's about honoring your own wanderlust and personal growth. It's about finally tackling that bucket list you’ve been cultivating for years!

Traveling solo while married allows for personal renewal and offers the chance to forge new friendships with like-minded women. It can actually strengthen your relationship by giving you space for individual pursuits and exciting stories to bring home. Our She Getaways at ESD Travels specialize in creating luxurious, immersive group travel experiences that foster a deep sense of connection with yourself, your fellow solo travelers, and the destinations you visit. You'll find a she tribe that supports empowered, grown women who are ready to own their journeys.

GO Tips:

• Talk openly and kindly with your partner about your travel needs and aspirations.

• Plan your solo adventures so they complement your shared life goals, keeping communication vibrant.

• See your solo trips as an investment in yourself that ultimately benefits everyone around you.
