Are you a woman with a passion for solo travel? If you’ve ever considered the adventure of workamping in Florida State Parks, you’re not alone. My name is Jolene, creator of the Solo Sojourn Project, and a passionate advocate for women who wander. As a solo traveler and published author, I’ve discovered the beauty and freedom in exploring Florida’s public lands. Let me share my journey and tips to help you set off on your own solo adventure.
Why Choose Solo Travel
My life has had some ups and downs. I first retired and used my retirement to purchase an old class RV because my mother wanted to travel, and I loved to visit state parks. There were some unsettling things happening at my job and all but one of my kids were out on their own so we decided to sell it all and hit the road. We did that for 7 years and had a pretty good time. But then we blew an engine in the RV, Covid hit and the old RV needed major interior work as well. Disheartened and with no extra funds of our own we went to live at my brother’s small place in the country. Mom’s health deteriorated fast and she passed away 2021. It has taken me 4 years to get to the place where I can finally get back on the road. Well, at least part-time and I want you to come with me.
It is difficult to take that first step alone. Yes, the young people are having a time with “Vanlifing” and some of my fellow women solo travelers out there are showing us the way. I, myself, have one car-camping experience under my belt and will the sharing that with my newsletter subscribers. So don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE.
Some Advice to Get Started
Having a game plan is key. Learn new skills like small engine repair, which is highly valued in state parks. Consider taking a basic repair class to handle your own camper’s needs. These skills could be your ticket to volunteering as a workamper, offering necessary services in state parks and will save you money too. Of course, anyone willing to learn and healthy enough can become a volunteer workamper so long at you have a “SELF-CONTAINED” living unit of some kind. You know, be able to make your own meals, and shower if necessary. Some public land areas have camping facilities and some don’t for their volunteers.

Solo travel doesn’t mean isolation. My innovative app, Solo Sojourn Trail, will be here to connect you with a thriving community of solo adventurers. I’m doing all of the app’s development, aiming to forge a supportive network for women like you. Sign up to stay informed of our progress.
