WRITTEN FROM REAL EXPERIENCE

I travelled solo. I felt the nerves. I kept going anyway.

I wrote these confidence boosts on quiet roads, during late arrivals, at solo tables in quiet piazzas, a small espresso warming my hands as the day slowed around me, and in those moments of getting lost, then realising it was exactly where I needed to be.

Solo travel isn’t about being fearless.
It’s about learning to move forward gently, even when the nerves come with you.

This guide is for the in-between moments… before you book, before you go, or halfway through a trip when you pause and quietly wonder if you’re doing it right.

You are.

This isn’t about pushing yourself.
It’s about trusting yourself.

WHAT YOU’LL FIND INSIDE, AND WHO IT’S FOR

This guide is for anyone planning to travel Italy alone who wants a little more confidence before they go, or something steady to return to while they’re there.

It’s especially helpful if you’re travelling solo for the first time, returning to solo travel after a break, or simply want reassurance without being told what to do.

You won’t find checklists or rigid advice.
Instead, you’ll find:

  • Seven short confidence boosts you can dip into at any point

  • Gentle mindset shifts for moments of doubt or overwhelm

  • Calm, grounding reminders written for real solo-travel situations

It’s designed to be read in one sitting, or opened again and again, on your phone, over a coffee, or in a quiet moment when confidence needs a nudge.
