Description
In our upcoming podcast episode, we have the pleasure of hosting an adventurous and confident woman, Ms. Korobi Roy, who explores the world one place at a time, embracing the thrill of solo travel. Her journey began in the serene coastal town of Varkala in Kerala, where she discovered the joy and therapeutic benefits of traveling alone. She shares how solo travel allows her to create her own schedule, cater to her own preferences, and make countless new friends through engaging conversations along the way. She then embarked on an educational adventure in Prague during a sabbatical. Balancing a very tough course in a new country amidst co-students from across the world was a real challenge. But she took up the challenge and had a great time there too. Immersing herself in the city's rich history and exploring its surrounding villages and towns as she kept up the course rigor. Living with a diverse group of international students, she experienced the joy of communal living—cooking, eating, traveling, and studying together. The course culminated in a delightful trip to Vienna, where she had her first eye-opening experience staying in a multi-gender hostel room. From palaces and gardens to theatres, cathedrals, beer gardens, and pubs, her strolls through Vienna were nothing short of magical. Her travels didn't stop there. In Paris, she revelled in the charm of its lanes and by-lanes, making new friends as she explored quaint French cafes and unknown churches, cathedrals and gardens! As a bonus, our guest recounts her wonderful solo trip to Cambodia, where she explored the magnificent Angkor Wat and the vibrant streets of Phnom Penh, forming lasting friendships along the way. Join us as we dive into her inspiring stories and learn how solo travel has shaped her adventurous spirit and enriched her life with unforgettable experiences.
