“You’re traveling to WHERE?!” is a question I get often. Isn’t that a place filled with violence? Won’t my phone get stolen in that country? We’ve all heard these comments before traveling to non-touristy spots. But I don’t want you or anyone else to miss out on life-changing places because of misconceptions and stereotypes!


Today, I’m joined by Melissa Bareham, a Purpose and Business coach who is a fellow female solo traveler. You’ll hear our honest experiences in places often deemed “unsafe,” and how we’ve been able to navigate new cultures safely.


Melissa is also the host of The Pursuit of Purpose Podcast and, after this conversation, you’ll understand why Melissa is uniquely equipped to support people in finding their purpose. After going through a cancer diagnosis and coming out the other side, she has a whole new perspective on life. It’s a funny, refreshing and eye-opening conversation that I think you’re really going to enjoy.


In this episode, we discuss:

Traveling mishaps we’ve experienced
Safety tips for solo female travelers
Following your intuition when meeting new people abroad
How her cancer diagnosis turned Melissa’s attention towards her purpose
