Solo Travel: A Modern Form of Pilgrimage

Emilie Wammen - independent consultant, globetrotter and author - gives a lecture on solo travel as a modern form of pilgrimage. Drawing on experiences from over 70 countries, she combines personal stories with professional insights into what drives people to travel the world alone - and why it rarely starts with courage, but rather with curiosity, necessity, or a desire for change.

The lecture explores human encounters, everyday courage and hospitality, and the small moments that give travel meaning. Emilie examines how solo travel can be a path to rediscovering peace, strength and direction - and why you are rarely truly alone, even when traveling alone.
