Creator's Key Takeaways

Taking care of yourself, doing something that fills you up, spending money you earned on the experience that you want, none of that is selfish.

I wanted to go, so I went is a complete sentence.

The scrutiny almost always lands on the person who left to do something for themselves.

βœ“Don't feel the need to provide a tragic backstory or justification for traveling alone.
βœ“Use the phrase 'I wanted to go, so I went' to respond to critics.
