"I found the course covered a lot of topics in a very helpful way. I enjoyed the links to podcasts, I was encouraged and empowered reading testimonials from a wide range of travelers on different topics, and I find that all the information is presented in a clear and upbeat way. Preparation is so important and you make it fun! I'm off to Spain in a couple of months and taking the course has helped me validate what I'm doing well and made me think of what I can do to make my experience even richer. Thank you!"

Hi there, I'm Abi
And I know exactly what it's like to want to see the world - and do it right.
Today I'm a travel writer who's travelled to more than 60 countries, driven solo through the Sahara, interviewed Nagasaki blast survivors and spoken about responsible and sustainable tourism with UNESCO, the EU and NASA.
But it wasn’t always like this.
Years ago, I had big dreams but no blueprint. And while I'd always loved to travel, I'd always done it the hard way.
When I switched from doctor to professional writer, I knew I needed a different approach. When I became a mother, I had to refine it even more.
So, I developed a system. And that’s what I teach today in our full Hot Mess to Travel Success Programme.
But if you're not ready for an online course right now, The Travel Toolbox © can give you a taste of all that good stuff. It gives you access to the resources and digital downloads I'd recommend and you can go and get started on your own.
What's more? It contains amazing products from our partners Janice Waugh and Tracey Nesbitt at Solo Traveler.
Want to know more about them? Well, I'm glad you asked!

About JANICE AND TRACEY
Janice and Tracey are the duo behind the award-winning Solo Traveler blog and community. Founded by Janice, they work to help people travel the world on their own, with the great postcard tagline "glad you're not here."
We've known each other for years and worked together at many different travel conferences. Janice is a leading light for finding organisation amid the chaos and is therefore the perfect partner for my more wild, free-spirited ways!
"I'm a pretty well travelled person, however am always flying by the seat of my pants. When it comes to trips, I usually just barely plan for the basics and then figure the rest out on the fly. This has been an exciting way to go, and always seems to work out in the end!
More and more however, i find myself frustrated with extra costs and time spent getting myself out of the sticky situations that could have been avoided with a little extra planning.
I've been meaning to make myself some checklists and create more awareness around travel budget for YEARS! The travel toolbox has all the things that I've been procrastinating to sit down and create for myself. So easy! What a timesaver this is going to be!
I'm excited about the simple systems for keeping all the useful information you've gathered in one easy access place.The budget spreadsheets are also going to be super helpful, I know I always spend extra when I make all my decisions on the fly. The travel toolbox is a thoughtful collection of guides, tools and philosophy that is relevant and so useful for all kinds of travellings... a gift for a loose wandering soul like me! "

Is this a physical product?
When will I be able to access the toolkit?
Right away! Occasionally, it can take up to 20 minutes for the material to arrive in your inbox but it's usually even quicker than that.
How will I access the toolbox?
You can download most of the contents right away. The mini-courses will be delivered by email, so you will need to add your email address to each mini course you want to access.
What's going on with the spelling?!
Ha! I'm from the UK so use British English. Janice and Tracey live in Canada, so use Canadian English. That's why you'll see a difference between "traveller" and "traveler" about the place.
But what about Covid?!
As a former doctor, health and responsible travel is of the utmost importance to me. I would never advise you to break health guidelines and we include bonus material relevant to the pandemic to address just this.
It's too much stuff! I'm overwhelmed!
No worries! You don't need to use it all. In fact, we don't expect you to use it all. Just as you don't use every tool in a toolbox, so you don't need everything that's here. But the point is, you should be able to find the tools you do need.
"Great compact information on everything you need for traveling solo with resources that can be used for years to come."
