Julie Stafford

Julie Stafford is an international bestselling author, speaker and solo travel advocate whose books have sold more than 2.3 million copies worldwide.

For more than four decades, she has inspired audiences through her writing and over 1,500 presentations on resilience, reinvention and living life with purpose.

After the death of her husband of thirty years, Julie embarked on a series of solo journeys across Croatia, France, Spain, Malta, Morocco and India. Those transformative experiences became the foundation for her memoir, Becoming Solo.

More than a travel memoir, Becoming Solo is is an inspiring memoir of love, loss, grief, hope, resilience, and personal transformation. It is the true story of one woman's journey through loss, and how solo travel became the path that helped her rebuild a life she never imagined she could love again.

More than a travel memoir, this is a story about finding hope after heartbreak, embracing uncertainty, and discovering that life's most beautiful chapters are often written after everything you thought defined you had disappeared.

Today, Julie continues to write, travel and inspire others through her books, keynote presentations and Memoir Writing Retreats in Marrakech, Morocco, helping people discover that it is never too late to begin again.
