Dr. Mary Travelbest My First Independent Trip
Who is Dr. Travelbest? Dr. Mary
Beth McCabe and in the future, her daughter, Tina Shubat will take over the

Assess your travel needs first to
find your travel space.
FAQ: For a recently divorced
woman, how should I travel?
Start small and be comfortable Go
local. Try 10-15 miles from home and make it an adventure regularly. Move up to
30 miles and then to the next state and make conversations at these new places.
You will gain so much from your travel.
Tips: Safety precautions: health,
safety and more tips can protect you.
How To: Packing. Travel light to
save energy and time. Pack half of a small suitcase. The other half can be for
things to give away. Consider a small backpack instead of a suitcase if
possible. The basics: medications, cosmetics, and one of a kind items.
Attitude: Keep saying “yes”.
Face your fear of going alone.
Meeting people may be a challenge. Talk about the weather, transportation, or
ask a question. Common sense is critical here. Confidence building is like a
snowball.
My travel as a teenager: Solo
Travel to New York City. Three weeks on my own was a very special experience.
This helped build my travel experiences over the past decades. Travel is much
better than getting “stuff.”
FAQ: I’m invited to Spain but
don’t want to go alone. What should I do? Don’t let not having someone to go
with keep you away. Don’t let yourself be held back.
Mistakes and missteps:
1. Spilling my tomato juice all
over myself was distressing. What an ordeal. I was able to change my clothes
and get a new seat cushion, so the rest of the flight was ok.
2. How to deal with getting lost:
Getting lost in Shanghai in 1988 riding a bicycle was a terrible experience,
but I was able to figure it out thanks to the Peace Hotel. This was a really
distressing experience, but it all worked out.
