I Got Lost in Paris at 2am and My Dad Had Already Prepared Me

Everyone's online telling Gen X to catch up on solo travel. I think we already have the skills and just haven't named them yet. This video is for the 50 to 60-year-old who keeps seeing the posts, wondering if it's too late, and needs someone to just say: nah, you're already built for this. You'll hear why growing up as a latchkey kid, getting lost before GPS existed, and navigating by landmarks and instinct actually trained you for solo travel better than any app can. I use a real story from Paris, 2 in the morning, no map, no phone, and still found the way back. Drop a comment and tell me where you want to go first, or where you've already been solo.
