Starting Over after 50: Finding Freedom Through Solo RV Adventures with Allison Gonzalez
Manage episode 480852982 series 3413592
When life forces you to start over completely, what would you do? For Allison Gonzalez, a series of devastating blows in 2019—losing her job, the death of her beloved dog, and the onset of a global pandemic—became the unexpected catalyst for a transformative journey of self-discovery through solo RV travel.
Rather than continuing to push for conventional stability after selling her California home, Allison made a bold decision: "I'm just going to skip the house and travel." What began as a reaction to circumstances evolved into a four-year nomadic adventure through national parks, desert landscapes, and mountain terrain across America.
Throughout our conversation, Allison shares the profound lessons learned from living on the road—physical challenges that built resilience, safety concerns that demanded vigilance, and most significantly, the spiritual healing she discovered in nature. "I don't know how to explain it," she reflects about her time among the saguaro cacti and mountain vistas, "it fills your soul." This soul-filling connection became the tonic she needed while rebuilding her life after 50.
For women contemplating their own solo adventures in midlife, Allison offers wisdom from her journey: "Get out of your comfort zone even if it's just a little bit." She emphasizes that small steps build confidence for bigger adventures, while learning from mistakes makes you stronger. Perhaps most surprisingly from an independent traveler, she encourages others to "learn to trust...lean on them" when needed, finding that community support enhances rather than diminishes personal strength.
Whether you're facing your own life reset or simply dreaming of more adventure, this episode offers both practical insights and spiritual reflection on how starting over through travel can lead to discovering your most authentic self. Ready to find out what you're truly capable of? Listen now and be inspired to take that first step.
