Record-numbers of women are traveling alone. But what are the real stories beyond the highlight reel, the "Bali will heal you" fantasies and the doom warnings from your uncle? 

Hosted by solo traveler and award-winning writer Julie Piñero, Solita explores the messier side to solo travel. What happens when your Paris fling takes you somewhere the rom-coms wouldn’t dare? When your trip to honor your grandparents means facing your worst fear alone? When you say ‘yes’ and it surprises even you? 

Solita is Spanish for ‘a female alone’, but it drips with pity. This show takes that word back. Solitude - especially on the road - may be a time to follow a curiosity nobody shares, change your mind and push your limits. 

Each week, Julie and a guest unpack one solo trip and what it reveals about safety, sex, money, heritage, loneliness, identity and other nuances that make solo travel more approachable, less fantasy. Because the world isn’t always your oyster. That’s exactly what makes the story worth telling.

Solita host Julie Piñero has four nights in Galway on one mission: become a 'regular' at pub in Ireland. With advice from locals in her ear, 15 years of solo travel under her belt, and only 4 nights to make it happen, she's racing the clock to answer: how do you connect to a place when you're only just passing through, alone? 

Special thanks to all of the Ireland impromptu-guests who agreed to Julie's interviews.

If you're in Galway, be sure to take a tour with Ana at Tribes Tours or follow her at @anabnas. If you take a trip to the Aran Islands, go to Inisheer and visit Máirtín at the Aran Currach Experience or follow them at @aran_currach_experience.
