ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Sarah!

From the bustling streets of Madrid and the beaches of Los Angeles to the street food adventures in Bangkok, a hot air balloon ride in Mexico and hiking to Angels Landing in Zion.

I have been a flight attendant since 2014 and made my first solo trip in 2009. I want to check off every bucket list item, which sometimes means going alone!

Especially if you’re navigating a challenging time or standing at a crossroads, there’s no better way to reconnect with your true self than by taking a solo trip.

In 2023, I hit one of the lowest points in my life. It was a destructive and toxic time that felt impossible to escape. Thankfully, I was guided onto a new path through the Universe’s divine intervention.

Don’t get me wrong—it was a brutal and raw healing journey, but one that ultimately redirected me toward growth, spirituality and the start of a glow-up transformation.

Solo travel and prioritising my me-time allowed me to reconnect with myself. They strengthened my sense of purpose. I knew a long time ago that I wanted to help women travel solo confidently (why I started my Instagram account and first travel blog).

During my solo trip to Japan in September 2023, I had an epiphany: my purpose goes far beyond just sharing solo travel tips. I’m passionate about guiding women to step into a more confident, empowered version of themselves in every aspect of life, through the transformative power of travel and mindset.

If I can help even one woman feel less alone on her healing or glow-up journey, that’s all the fulfilment I need—because I was her, and in many ways, I still am. Sisterhood is what we all need, and I’ll always honour the code of sisterhood.

I would be honoured to help you become your most potential self and conquer your life’s bucket list.

Travelling the world has sparked an outburst of creativity and thoughts I wanted to express through this blog. I’ve built this blog myself, learning on the go about web development, digital marketing, and content creation.

I’m based in the Netherlands and hope to inspire you to visit my beautiful little country on your European summer trip.

Besides travelling, I love to cook, read, and lift weights. I’m a certified web developer and a certified wine enthusiast (WSET Level 2), holding a Bachelor’s degree in Tourism Management.

Fasten your seatbelts, and let’s take off together!

How I went from self-conscious to main character e How I went from self-conscious to main character energy – one solo dinner at a time💪🏽🌸

FOLLOW @jetlagsarah for solo female travel tips, destination guides and big “she remembered who the f*ck she is” energy 🔥

I used to sit at a restaurant alone and feel like everyone was staring. Like I had to scroll on my phone just to look “busy.”

But here’s the truth: no one cares. And even if they do, let them watch because this is what confidence looks like.

The first time I ordered wine for myself, savoured every bite, and didn’t rush through the meal, I felt it. That quiet shift. I wasn’t the girl hiding behind a book anymore.

I was the woman owning her space, enjoying her own company, living her own damn life.

And now? I don’t even blink an eye eating out solo. I focus on that amazing dinner, a great new wine to try out or my favourite, people watching.

So if you’re waiting for someone to join you? Stop! Book that table for one. Order fries for breakfast. 

YOU’RE the main character and she doesn’t wait for anyone!😊

- If you have the option, always try to see if it’s possible to upgrade at the gate or on board with points/miles.

Even an upgrade to economy comfort or premium comfort is worth it. And fly a proper airline where your drinks and food are included in your ticket.

- pick a seat in economy where you’re comfortable. Not pre-booking a seat means everyone else who does goes first.

Bulkhead and exit seats give extra legroom. If you need to get up a lot, choose an aisle seat.

- bring long haul flight essentials, like a sleeping mask, noise cancelling headphones, a book, proper socks, a neck pillow, snacks and iFly (to connect with the ife).

- always pre-order a meal if you have dietary restrictions, you can do this in your online booking or expect your choice to be finished.

Some airlines have to option for a premium meal, which means a more luxury meal with a drink and you’ll be served before anyone else.

- Recline your seat (after the service) and make yourself comfortable. Especially during a night flight.

Watch a movie, read a book, binge watch a series.

- Order a glass of wine, because you can. Vacation starts here! Bring your own charcuterie box. I always bring grapes, crackers, cheese, nuts, popcorn.

- dress comfortably and in layers, the temperature is never good for everyone. Bring a scarf, a sweater and easy slip-on shoes.

❓What do you always bring on a long haul flight? Love to hear your thoughts!🙏🏽

My first solo trip that changed everything!✈️🌍

FOLLOW @jetlagsarah for truthful solo female travel tips, real destination guides and big “she remembered who the f*ck she is” energy🔥

My first international solo trip changed my life.

It came from a place of being f*cking DONE.

I was done waiting for others to travel with.

Done adjusting to everyone’s schedule.

I was tired. So f*ckung tired, I just wanted rest, peace and quiet.

Laying by the pool. Sleeping as much as I needed. Eating new foods and exploring cities.

This deep feeling of wanting more and choosing myself, made me plan a solo trip.

I took the trip scared. I took the trip overpacked. I took the trip not knowing anything.

But I still did it.

Was I worried about safety? Worried about feeling alone?

Of course I was. But I still did it.

What are you waiting for?

That solo trip to Bali changed everything💙

Stop saying you’ll travel solo “when life calm Stop saying you’ll travel solo “when life calms down.” That’s code for never🤨💙

FOLLOW @jetlagsarah for solo female travel tips, destination guides and big “she remembered who the f*ck she is” energy 🔥

Let me be real with you for a sec. Life doesn’t magically calm down. There’s always going to be a work deadline, a family thing, or someone else’s drama keeping you “too busy.”

The women who finally book the trip? They’re not less busy than you. They just decide their life isn’t going to wait for “someday.”

And you don’t need to blow up your life to do it. You just need to choose yourself, even if it’s for 5 days, even if you’re scared.

Because here’s the truth: waiting for the perfect time keeps you stuck in the same story. Booking the trip is you holding the pen.

So… what’s stopping you?

✈️ Thinking about solo travelling but stuck on where to start?
