Two Peacocks Travel Podcast

Two Peacocks Travel was founded by best friends and passionate globetrotters Ana Gaona and Sandy Correa, who share a deep love for adventure and cultural exploration. After retiring from Civil Service with the Los Angeles Department of Health, these travel besties decided to travel the world together. Along the way, they realized how many women felt hesitant or uncertain about traveling solo or stepping outside their comfort zones. Determined to change that, Ana and Sandy created Two Peacocks Travel with the mission to empower women to explore the world confidently, by offering curated, supportive, and enriching group travel experiences. Their goal is to break down barriers, foster connection, and inspire women to embrace adventure—whether they’re seasoned travelers or taking their very first trip abroad. Through thoughtful planning, personal touches, and a vibrant community, Ana and Sandy strive to make every journey transformative, fun, and unforgettable.

Ever catch yourself daydreaming about traveling… but then thinking, Could I really do this alone? If that sounds like you, this episode is for you.

In Episode 31, we talk about what it is really like to step into solo travel later in life. Not the backpacking-in-your-twenties version, but the grown-woman version where comfort, safety, and confidence actually matter.

We bust some of the biggest myths, including the idea that hostels are only for twenty-somethings who never sleep. Spoiler alert, many hostels today offer beautiful private rooms, calm social spaces, and safe, welcoming vibes that are perfect for women traveling solo. They are not what you think.

We talk about not letting fear, or movies like Taken, Saw, and Final Destination, convince you that the world is out to get you. Solo travel is not about being reckless, it is about being prepared, aware, and brave enough to live your life fully.

And if the idea of solo travel excites you but also makes you a little nervous, you are not alone. Sometimes the best first step is traveling with a supportive group that helps you build confidence. Two Peacocks Travel creates women-only trips designed to give you that bridge between guided travel and full solo adventures.

So if you have been waiting for a sign to finally go, this is it.
Let’s get into the episode.
