Creator's Key Takeaways

Solo travel and the particular alchemy of stepping onto a ship alone and watching the shore recede has a way of making this visible in ways that nothing else quite does.

You are ocean ready. You've always been ocean ready. The only thing between you and open water is the decision, the simple, terrifying, life-changing decision to untie the rope.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack light: if it can't fit in one backpack, it's not coming with you.
Notice where you are still holding a rope that is ready to be released.
Choose your own adventure with joy and intention and zero apology.
