Hi, I’m Anjali
About Me
Empowering Women Through
Travel & Mentorship
I'm Anjali, a solo travel coach who believes in the transformative power of traveling alone. My passion lies in helping women step into their independence, embrace their courage, and build a life that’s vibrant, resilient, and full of adventure. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed by work or life’s pressures, or simply ready for a change, solo travel may be exactly the shift you need—and I’m here to guide you on that journey.
My Story
I always told myself, “I’ll do this when I have more time, more money, or when everything falls into place.” But life had other plans. During my senior year of college, I had a near-death experience that changed everything. I realized how short life really is and that the time to live is now, not tomorrow. That moment shifted my perspective, and I started living in the present.
Travel has always been in my blood. I grew up visiting India, became an exchange student in Japan, and studied abroad in Spain. But it wasn’t until I took my first trip to Peru and Brazil during grad school that I truly fell in love with travel. That adventure gave me the confidence to start traveling solo, and I’ve never looked back since.
Over the past 20 years, I’ve traveled to 63 countries, sometimes with friends, but more often than not on my own. What I discovered was that solo travel made me my best self: less stressed, more adventurous, open to new experiences, and ready to take on whatever came my way. The challenges I faced along the way—whether getting lost in foreign cities or dealing with sickness in a remote area—made me more resilient, confident, and able to pivot when life threw me a curveball.
Now, after years of solo travel, I’ve learned how to blend spontaneity with planning, how to take calculated risks, and how to fully embrace the unexpected joys of the journey. Travel, for me, isn’t just about seeing new places—it’s about self-growth, expanding my perspective, and constantly learning. And that’s what I want to help other women discover too.
My Mission
I believe that every woman deserves to live a life that is fully her own.
My mission is to help women travel solo, not just for the sake of adventure, but to empower them to become more resilient, confident, and capable in all areas of their lives. Through travel, I’ve learned to trust my instincts, push through fear, and embrace uncertainty—and I want to help you do the same.
Life is short. Don’t wait for the perfect moment to start living your dreams. Let’s take that first step together—whether it’s booking your first solo trip or making a bold move in your career. I’m here to guide you through it all.
