FAQs

What is the focus of your solo travel guidance?

According to the World Health Statistics 2024, women tend to outlive men when comparing life expectancy. Our Founder of “Travel with Joy TV,” Joy Huber, truly believes the ability to solo travel safely and successfully is a life skill women of every age & stage of life must have.  Joy’s important work focuses on empowering women to experience the “JOY” of solo travel by providing safety tips when traveling solo, coaching for individuals, speaking to groups, and other useful resources that help in the areas of trip planning and paying for solo travel including affordable product recommendations.

Why should I consider solo travel?

Solo travel offers tremendous freedom, self-discovery, and the opportunity to create personalized experiences tailored to your interests.  So many women have spent much of their life devoted to helping and caring for others, and women often say on trips they are doing what their kids or spouse want to do while their own interests go ignored.  All women deserve the opportunity to go where you want when you want and do what you want for a change.  If you can’t get others’ schedules to align with when you want to travel, or if you’re tired of begging others to go places you’re interested in visiting or doing what you want to do, learning how to solo travel successfully is for you!  Women of every age & stage of life from single to divorced, widowed to even married or married with kids are discovering the “JOY” of solo travel living their life fully with their own travels ranging from an overnight or weekend away to refresh, to much longer trips!

What makes Joy an expert on traveling solo?

Joy has traveled solo safely, capably navigating multiple challenging safety situations for over two decades.  Through her personal solo travel experience, Joy discovered a number of tips, insider secrets, and inexpensive items that aren’t very well known that she uses to feel confident traveling alone.  As a successful author & professional speaker, Joy traveled solo often delivering seminars and public speaking in person primarily in the United States before speaking virtually became more common.  

Joy prioritized traveling solo for fun after receiving a devastating diagnosis of stage 4 cancer in March of 2010.  Joy suffered through years of cancer treatment including three years of hard-hitting chemotherapy which caused the complete loss of her shoulder-length hair.  Joy realized we’re all a car accident, heart attack or diagnosis away from a completely different life, and she decided she wouldn’t wait until she retired to travel going where she wanted and doing what she wanted.  As she’s shared pictures of her fulfilling travels she was overwhelmed with questions from women on how to travel solo successfully as a woman.  Travel with Joy TV was born out of this growing demand for a personal solo travel guide for women!
