This isn’t a retreat. OR a tour group.
This is solo supported travel.
a new way to travel
Most travel experiences ask you to choose:
→ Travel alone, or travel with a group.
→ Follow your own curiosity, or follow someone else's itinerary.
→ Independence, or connection.
Solo-Supported Travel was created for women who want both.
💬 Connection when you want it.
Meet daily. Stay connected through WhatsApp. Share the wins, the mishaps, the discoveries, and the magic as it unfolds.
🌀 Nervous-system support.
Learn simple body-based practices that help you navigate unfamiliar places with more ease, confidence, and self-trust.
🗺️ Freedom to explore.
No tour buses. No rigid itineraries. No following a flag through a crowded city. You choose how you spend your days.
✨ Wonder as a practice.
We'll use beauty, curiosity, style, food, art, and place as invitations to orient, expand, and fully inhabit the experience.
🤝 A traveling sisterhood.
Travel independently. Gather daily. Leave with stories, memories, and connections that extend far beyond the trip itself.
This isn't a retreat. Or a tour. It's Solo Supported Travel.
HOW IT WORKS
You choose your flights. Your budget. Your hotel. Your hostel. Your five-star bathtub.
You get to plan your days around what lights you up. Want to spend six hours in a museum? Go for it. Want to sit in a café and people-watch all afternoon? Amazing. Want to wander without a plan and see where the day takes you? Perfect.
This is your adventure - but you won’t be navigating it alone.
Each morning, we'll gather for connection, nervous-system support, and practical tools to help you navigate the experience of solo travel.
Throughout the trip, we'll stay connected through WhatsApp, sharing discoveries, questions, mishaps, recommendations, and moments of magic as they unfold.
We'll also gather for a handful of shared experiences—meals, walks, conversations, thrifting, and other unexpected adventures that transform a city full of strangers into a traveling sisterhood.
It’s the best of both worlds.
You get the joy of independent travel—and the comfort of knowing you’re not doing it alone. You get structure without rigidity. You get community without obligation. You get to choose your own adventure, with support when you need it.
you’re more powerful than you think!
People often ask me how I dare travel alone. They assume I never get scared.
Truth is, I get scared all the time!
I also get overwhelmed. Make mistakes. Walk in circles. And say dumb things.
🚨 Once, I got stopped by the metro police in Paris, handed a hefty fine, and burst into tears because it triggered the part of me that haaaates getting into trouble.
But do you know what I didn't do?
→ Decide I was too stupid to travel alone.
→ Book the next flight home because I wasn’t cut out for this.
→ Swear off the Paris metro forever because I couldn’t handle the pressure.
Instead, I told the officer I needed a minute because I was feeling overwhelmed. I stepped aside, took some deep breaths, and reminded my good body that though my feelings were hurt, “I” was safe.
Once my body settled, and I had my wits about me again, I was able to confidently do the next right thing. And live to tell about it.
People think the hardest part of solo travel is navigating a foreign city in a language you don’t speak with customs you don’t understand. Puh! That’s nothing compared to what it can be like navigating those voices inside your head that freak out when things go sideways or you “get in trouble”. 😂
I don’t teach women how to do everything right so they can avoid the discomfort that is inherent to international travel. Impossible!
I teach women how to find their ground when their minds want to run off into worst-case scenario land. How to speak to themselves with kindness when they make mistakes. How to navigate uncertainty without making it mean something is wrong with them.
Because sure, courage and good planning might get you on the plane. But knowing how to support yourself (aka - have your own back) when the going gets tough reminds you that YOU’RE MORE POWERFUL, SKILLFUL, RESOURCED, UNSTOPPABLE THAN YOU EVER IMAGINED.
Testimonial
“Strolling through bustling streets, seeing the breathtaking works of art in the Louvre, sitting in cafés and watching beautifully dressed people, discovering beauty and inspiration everywhere. I was able to experience all of that during my trip to Paris, but what made this trip truly special for me was how I felt experiencing all of this. You can sit in the sun surrounded by the most beautiful flowers, bite into a delicious chocolate croissant, and still feel wrong, inferior, and out of place. You can sit in the cutest café and feel lonely. You can buy a loaf of bread—or a banana ;) — and suddenly feel small and stupid instead of like a capable adult. The fact that I felt alive, right, grounded, and well-resourced was because had tools at my disposal that brought me back to the present moment from any anxious thoughts. I learned how to support my body in unfamiliar situations so that it felt safe and relaxed. Our daily meeting in one of the most beautiful parks in Paris was both a grounding anchor and a starting point for new adventures every morning. It was a great opportunity to share connection, inspiration, challenges, and courage. And the women with whom I was able to experience this adventure were an absolute highlight of the trip. Stasia has created something that combines the benefits of solo-traveling with connection, sisterhood, and empowerment. And through her authenticity, wisdom, and energy—which are just as inspiring in real life as they are online—it becomes a very special experience.”

which city is calling you?
🇫🇷 Paris
October 12-16
-
Before my first trip to Paris, I assumed it would feel too touristy, too cliché, too urban.
And then I cried my way through city, overwhelmed by the magnificence of her beauty.
I cried when I heard the bells of Notre Dame. I cried in the courtyard of the Louvre. I cried when I saw the Eiffel Tower. I cried when I climbed up into the dome of Sacre Coeur.
Paris taught me that I'm a lover of BEAUTY. Whether that be a mountain stream, a slot canyon, or a centuries old stained glass window.
J’adore Paris!
-
Think slow mornings, café tables spilling onto sidewalks, museum afternoons, buttery pastries, neighborhood markets, long walks, and the kind of beauty that takes your breath away, again and again.
Paris isn't a city to rush through. It is a city to savor.
-
We'll meet each morning near the fountain in the Jardin du Luxembourg, located in the 6th arrondissement.
If you'd like an easy walk to our morning gatherings, I recommend staying in the 5th or 6th arrondissement (I stay in the 5th), though you're welcome to stay anywhere that suits your budget and travel style.
The gardens are easy to reach by foot, Metro, or bus, making them the perfect home base for our mornings together.
🇮🇹 Rome
October 19-23
-
Rome is thrilling. It grabs by the shirt collar and says LOOK AT THIS!
Then: “No Seriously. Look 👏 At 👏 This!”
Rome is gritty, sexy, loud, and gloriously alive.
Everywhere I turn, there's something demanding my attention. A dome. A church. A fountain. A ruin. A piazza. A freakin’ Caravaggio.
Rome energizes me, inspires me, and wakes me up like a shot of espresso. 😃
-
Scooters buzzing down cobblestone streets. Laundry hanging from apartment windows. People spilling out of cafés and piazzas. Narrow streets opening into magnificent piazzas. Ancient ruins appearing where you least expect them. Domes rising above rooftops.
Rome doesn't whisper. It grabs you by the shirt collar and pulls you into the next adventure.
-
We'll meet each morning in Piazza di Santa Maria in Trastevere, one of the most beloved squares in Rome.
If you'd like an easy walk to our morning gatherings, I recommend staying in or near Trastevere. It's lively, beautiful, and filled with cafés, restaurants, gelato shops, and winding cobblestone streets.
And if the weather decides not to cooperate, no worries—there are plenty of cozy cafés nearby where we can gather instead.

This trip to Paris with Stasia has completely altered how I relate to travel, especially Solo Travel, in the best of ways. It was such a fun and brilliant way to experience Paris completely on my own, yet then make amazing new connections with fellow Solo Journeyers, as well as Stasia's holding container in the gorgeously stunning Jardin de Luxembourg every morning. Brilliant. Bravo Stasia. Would highly recommend doing this if you've ever wondered about traveling solo. Alone and well accompanied..
I have no words to express my heartfelt gratitude for what you brought to the experience, Stasia. The grounding experiences you shared with us in the morning hours were a treasure; mirrored back in real time, in real life situations. Very empowering. Thank you for manifesting this beautiful container.
I would do it again with you around the world.

I was determined to go to France in the spring of 2026, but I had no idea how I could pull off a trip like that on my own. When Stasia announced her Solo Supported Trip to Paris, I thought, If this isn’t heaven-sent, I don’t know what is!
I was terrified—I had never left the States before—but I knew this was something I needed to do for myself.
I don’t know what I was so afraid of. I fell in love with Paris, gained confidence, and learned to embrace the unknown. Now, whenever I’m scared to do something, I remind myself: I went to Paris solo. I can do anything. One of the best parts of the trip was the incredible women I met. We bonded so quickly and formed friendships I’ll always treasure.
This experience changed the trajectory of my life, and I am forever grateful.
There is definitely more solo travel in my future!Bridget, Solo Supported Traveler, Paris 2026

I have been following Stasia for years...ever since I was in Style School #1 back in 2015! As I watched Stasia's posts and reels about her trip to Paris.... I could see myself there! So when Stasia came up with the brilliant idea of Solo Supported Travel to Paris --- I signed up right away! A treat to myself for my 72nd Birthday! I knew I would be in good hands with Stasia's coaching and support. This experience exceeded my expectations and challenged me in ways I will never forget. I met wonderful women, explored on my own, took risks to challenge myself physically -- like walking up all those steps in Montmartre then climbing the 300 steps up into the Dome of the Sacre Coeur! After having watched Stasia's video of walking up all those steps... I knew I could do it. I could hear Stasia & Raisa's laughter in my mind, as I slowly made my way UP! I figured "I will never be this YOUNG again, so Go for It!" Slow and Steady wins the race! Plus the views were magnificent! Somatic coaching, daily check-ins with the group, shared stories and the freedom to be in the moment all added up to an experience of a lifetime!

Many thanks to Stasia for being the sparky catalyst for one of the most delightful Parisian weeks, ever. I feel lucky to have seen Stasia’s initial posts about “solo supported travel in Paris,” and I put my hand up without hesitation. While I’m an inveterate traveler, I usually go with friends and/or family, so the idea of crafting my own week in a favorite city sounded heavenly. And it was! What a bonus to have chosen this journey with a lovely group of interesting women, who gathered in the mornings and then struck out for solo adventure all over Paris. Stasia’s authenticity and wisdom made the week an opportunity for discovery and joy. Thanks again, Stasia. You are a gift.

I just returned from the most amazing solo trip to Paris. It was a supported experience facilitated by my longtime mentor, Stasia, whose guidance helped me stay grounded and regulated during my very first overseas solo adventure. I discovered that I truly can do hard things—like navigating the metro, staying calm when I realized I was going the wrong way, and finding my way in a new city. One of the greatest gifts of traveling solo was the freedom to do exactly what I wanted—whether sinking into a museum for as long as I pleased or exploring without worrying if someone else was having a good time. This trip gave me so much confidence: from ordering food and shopping for groceries in another language, to simply trusting myself in unfamiliar spaces. I now feel excited and ready to plan my next solo adventure abroad. I’m deeply grateful to Stasia for creating such a safe, supportive space where we could learn, share, and grow as solo travelers. Our morning gatherings in the most beautiful garden were such a highlight, as were the shared excursions. I left Paris not only more confident, but also with new friendships and memories that I will treasure for years to come.

My trip to Paris with Stasia and the group was wonderful! I really enjoyed Stasia's grounding and guiding presence each morning and learned so much from our talks in the garden. Having a little structure and connection to start the day and then feeling free to wander the streets of Paris to my heart's delight was the perfect setup! I've traveled solo before but honestly, enjoyed this trip more than some of my solo travels. Having the shared Google map and What'sApp group was also super helpful and made me feel a little less alone in a city where I don't speak the language. I highly recommend this experience so you can feel more confident traveling solo, and so you can soak up some of Stasia's fun vibes and healing presence.

You know that feeling when you’re headed exactly where you need to be? That’s how it felt when I imagined being in Paris, on a solo supported trip with Stasia. When you know, you know. Stasia started the somatic grounding process in our pre-trip calls, by inviting us to take the time to let ourselves really feel into where we are in time and space. It’s a beautiful practice that we continued in our daily meetings. I love traveling with other people, but this week was mine to figure out. There are always “gotchas” that come up when we travel. Like in this picture - my feet were tired from walking but there was so much more I wanted to see. So I got a bike helmet and a bike membership pass for the week. And saw Paris in a whole different way. On my schedule, at my pace, could start and stop when and where I wanted to. I hadn’t pictured that ahead of time, but had an “aha” moment and trusted my instincts. Getting through the other side of the temporary friction was so satisfying.
Five out of five stars: highly recommend. =)Nadja, Solo Supported Traveler, Paris 2025

This was my first trip to Europe and my very first solo adventure. For years, I dreamed of traveling more, researching group trips but never taking the next step. That all changed the moment I saw Stasia’s post about her upcoming Solo Supported Travel experience to Paris. It was an instant yes! Before the trip I was so excited and then the fear and doubt would wash over me but what calmed me down and brought back the excitement was knowing that I wasn’t going to be all alone. Before the trip Stasia hosted three live calls with all the women who signed up. It was wonderful to meet with everyone ahead of time. Stasia led us through a series of somatic practices that we could use when feeling overwhelmed. My trip to Paris was fabulous, starting out each day meeting as a group at Jardin de Luxembourg was wonderful, I enjoyed hearing about everyone’s adventures including the challenges. I’ve been a fan of Stasia for years, drawn to her energy and authenticity. She is the same person you see in her videos. Throughout this experience I felt supported, encouraged, and gently stretched beyond my comfort zone while being part of a community of incredible, like-minded women.
This trip didn’t just give me beautiful memories of Paris. It gave me confidence, connection, and a deeper trust in myself. I’m so grateful I said yes.
Rebecca, Solo Supported Traveler, Paris 2025
Hi, I’m Stasia Savasuk
(pronounced STAY-sha).
As a certified life coach, somatic educator, TEDx speaker, and creator of Style School, my work has always been about helping women listen to their own knowing, build a relationship with their good bodies, and become more fully themselves.
When I took a solo trip to Paris for my 50th birthday, women immediately started saying to me… "I wish I had the guts to travel solo."
They assumed I was fearless.
Unusually brave.
That I possessed some special “positive attitude” they didn't have.
But I knew that wasn't true.
I'm not special. I'm just really f*cking skillful.
I've spent years learning how to navigate uncertainty, recover from mistakes, settle my good body when she gets activated, feel the difference between danger and discomfort, and trust I’ll be okay, even when things go sideways.
I knew those were skills that could be taught… because they were skills I learned.
I created Solo-Supported Travel so that I could teach women the exact skills they needed to have their own back, so they too could confidently travel solo!

FAQ
-
Yes.
In fact, many women join specifically because they've always wanted to travel solo but weren't sure where to start.
That's exactly why Solo-Supported Travel exists.
You get the adventure of independent travel along with the support, community, and practical tools that make those first steps feel much more doable.
-
Nope.
One of the things that makes Solo-Supported Travel different is that you get to choose the accommodations that fit your budget, preferences, and travel style. Boutique hotel? Hostel? Apartment? Convent? Five-star bathtub? You decide.
I'll share neighborhood recommendations and guidance, but where you stay is entirely up to you.
-
First of all: you probably will. 😄
Travel is full of unfamiliar experiences, wrong turns, missed trains, language barriers, and moments where you wonder what on earth you're doing.
That's normal.
The good news? You don't need to know how to handle everything. You just need to know how to handle the next right thing.
That's exactly why this experience is supported from the start.
In the months leading up to the trip, we'll gather on Zoom to connect, prepare, and tend to any nervous-system flares that might already be buzzing. I'll teach simple somatic practices you can bring with you—tools for grounding, orienting, settling, and finding your center when things feel off.
You're not just hopping on a plane and hoping for the best. You're traveling with a deeper understanding of how to navigate stress before it hijacks your experience.
We'll also have a WhatsApp group for real-time questions, check-ins, directions, coordination, celebrations, and support. And of course, we'll gather each morning to connect, resource, regroup, and talk about what's actually happening as the adventure unfolds.
-
Retreats are typically all-inclusive, highly scheduled experiences—with meals, lodging, and daily activities planned for you from morning to night.
That's not what this is.
This is more like a choose-your-own-adventure vacation—with support.
You decide when to wake up, what to eat, where to stay, and how to spend your days. Want to spend eight hours at the Louvre? Read by the Seine? Wander aimlessly through Trastevere? Take a nap? Follow a whim?
Go for it.
The magic of Solo-Supported Travel is that you get to follow your own curiosity and rhythm while still having people in your corner.
We'll gather each morning for connection, nervous-system support, and practical solo-travel skills. Throughout the trip, you'll have access to our WhatsApp group, shared experiences, and a community of women who understand exactly what you're doing.
It's not a retreat.
It's solo travel with a safety net.A little structure. A lot of freedom.
And perhaps most importantly, it's a chance to practice traveling independently—with support close by—so future adventures feel even more possible.
-
I'll offer guidance and support as we prepare for the trip, but I won't be handing you a detailed packing list.
Why?
Because what you pack depends on your travel style, comfort needs, activities, preferences, and luggage situation.
What I will do is help you think through what you'll need, answer questions, and support you in making decisions that feel right for you.
And if you're someone who loves structure, timelines, checklists, templates, and a step-by-step packing process, my Nervous-System-First Approach to Packing course might be a great companion to this adventure.
-
Paris and Rome are both beautiful in October.
Expect mild daytime temperatures, cooler mornings and evenings.
Layers are your friend.
Think comfortable walking shoes, a light jacket, sweaters, scarves, and outfits that can adapt to changing temperatures throughout the day.
