Nope! That’s the beauty of solo travel—you get to choose where you stay, based on your budget, your taste, and your comfort. Want to cozy up in a chic boutique hotel? Go for it. Prefer a hostel, a rented flat, or something in between? All options are on the table.

The choice is entirely yours.

If you'd prefer to stay near others in the group, there will be an optional pre-trip Zoom call in early summer to connect with other Paris-goers and coordinate shared lodging.

I’ll be staying in the 5th Arrondissement (aka The Latin Quarter). It’s within walking distance (15 minutes or less) to Notre-Dame Cathedral, Musée d’Orsay and The Louvre.

Solo travel can stir up a lot—especially if you're new to it. That's why this experience is supported from the start. In the months leading up to the trip, we'll meet as a group (via Zoom) to connect, prepare, and walk through any nervous system flares that might already be buzzing. I'll be teaching somatic practices you can bring with you—tools for grounding, settling, orienting, and finding your center when things feel off.

You’re not just hopping on a plane and hoping for the best! You're traveling with a deeper understanding of how to navigate stress before it hijacks your experience.

PLUS—we’ll have a WhatsApp group for real-time check-ins, directions, coordination, and support. You’ll never be stranded or alone in your overwhelm. ❤️ And of course, you’ll have access to our twice-daily (optional) group meetups for rooting, resourcing, connecting, celebrating, and checking in with what’s real—for you.

Retreats are typically all-inclusive, highly scheduled experiences—with meals, lodging, and daily activities planned for you from morning to night. That’s not what this is.

This is more like a choose-your-own-adventure vacation—with support.

You get to decide when you wake up, what you eat, where you stay, and how you spend your time. Want to spend 8 hours at the Louvre? Nap in the park? Read by the Seine all day? Go for it.

You get the thrill of making your own choices and following your own rhythm—while still having opportunities to connect with a supportive group.

We’ll have twice-daily (optional) meetups—somatic check-ins, walks, meals, reflections—that you can join when it feels right. Skip ‘em if you’re in your flow. Show up when you want to plug back in.

It’s not a retreat.
It’s solo travel with a safety net.
A soft landing. A little structure. A lot of freedom.

It’s also educational—a way to practice solo travel with support, so you can build confidence for future adventures on your own. Training wheels? Maybe. Or just a brilliant hybrid of independence + community.

Yes! We’ll meet on Zoom before the trip to talk all things what to pack for Paris—and I promise, it’s going to be a fun conversation. I’ll walk you through the international travel must-haves–– like your passport and a power adapter––along with a few other small-but-mighty essentials that make international travel smoother, simpler, and a lot more fabulous.

Then we’ll talk style.

I’ll share ideas for dressing in that magical sweet spot—chic enough to feel fabulous, comfortable enough to wander the cobblestone streets all day, and with just the right nod of reverence for a city that treats beauty like ritual.

I’ll help with the essentials, but the rest? That’s all about how you want to feel.

Imagine this: golden light on cobblestone streets, a breeze just cool enough for a light scarf, and trees still full and green. September in Paris is magic. It’s that rare kind of in-between—after the summer crowds, before the chill of fall. Warm days, crisp evenings, café tables spilling onto sidewalks, and a sense that the whole city is exhaling. It’s walking weather. Wandering weather. Sit-by-the-Seine-and-watch-the-sunset weather. In other words… it’s ideal.
