Will Julie Survive Her Solo Travel Nightmare?

"Fear for personal safety" is the top reason women say they won’t travel solo. So what happens when the worst-case scenario strikes?

Solita host Julie Piñero was on her way to a big solo adventure in Greece when she slipped on a puddle in Heathrow Airport. Within a few dramatic hours, she was back across the Atlantic in her childhood bedroom, snuggling her old stuffed animals, relying on 24/7 care from her parents. At the ripe age of 34, her big solo adventure sent her traveling back in time. 

Over a week of recovery, Julie confronts the risks we're taught to fear vs. the ones we don't see coming. Starting with a confession she'd been keeping secret: what she was really doing in the seconds before she slipped on the puddle.
