My Journey…

MY JOURNEY – MY STORY

Hi, I am Petra, and I am so glad you are here. Welcome to The Seasoned Solo!

Like many women over 50, I have discovered that the way we see the world  - and the way we travel – changes as we do.

Travel is no longer about checking places off a list. It’s about slowing down, connecting more deeply, and finding experiences that truly matter. All of this, independently…

Through this travel journal, I’d love to share my experiences, reflections and discoveries with you.

I grew up in Germany, studied in Great Britain and the United States, lived in Latin America and now work aboard a cruise ship. Travel is my passion.

Every place I’ve called home and every journey I’ve taken, has shaped the way I travel today and the way I see the world.

If you are looking for thoughtful travel, meaningful encounters and the confidence to explore the world on your own terms, I’d be delighted to have you join me on this journey.

 Here you will find personal experiences, background insights, travel stories, anecdotes, and practical tips to help you explore the world with confidence and curiosity.

I hope this journal inspires you to travel more thoughtfully, embrace new perspectives, and discover the joy of exploring on your own terms.

Thanks for being here – enjoy the journey!
