💨 Abstract

Huda Alvi, a 39-year-old mum-of-three, prioritizes solo travel as a form of self-love, believing it makes her a better mother and wife. She took eight trips in 2023, often choosing culturally rich or active destinations. Her solo adventures began in 2018, and she now spends around £4,000 per trip. Despite societal judgments, she encourages other women to embrace solo travel for independence and personal growth.
