She Traveled the World Alone as a Female for 20 Months… (And How You Can Too)

Natalie Ng is a videographer and writer from Perth, Australia who spent 20 months traveling the world alone. She did not leave with everything figured out. She left with questions, curiosity, and a willingness to learn as she went.

In this episode, Natalie talks honestly about what it was like to travel solo as a woman for the first time. She walks through the fears she had before leaving, how she approached safety on the road, and how she handled the concerns and expectations of family back home. She shares the practical ways she built confidence over time, learned to trust her instincts, and made decisions that kept her grounded while constantly moving.

We also talk about the places that shaped her experience most, including time in Italy, the Balkans, Morocco, Nepal, and Southeast Asia. Natalie shares stories from trekking to Annapurna Base Camp, volunteering in Nepal, navigating different cultures as a solo woman, and learning when to slow down instead of rushing to the next place.

This conversation is for women who want to travel alone but feel unsure about safety, judgment, or not knowing where to start. It is an honest look at long term solo female travel, what actually helps, what matters most, and why you do not need a perfect plan to begin. Let’s dive in!
