Her decision emotionally destroyed me. We had a one-month honeymoon planned in Europe afterwards, and I ended up taking my mom for two weeks of it.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lindsay was heartbroken and unsure of how to spend her remaining time off. She had a stash of cash she had been working hard to save for years to explore the world and make memories with the person she loved.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The life I\u2019d envisioned for myself had just crumbled into nothing. I kept thinking I should be a happy newlywed right now, or I\u2019m supposed to be on a romantic honeymoon today. Instead, I cried myself to sleep, worrying I was unlovable and terrified about being alone forever.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>All she knew was that in the past, in her darkest moments, taking a solo trip had often helped. \u2018Travelling alone has always breathed life back into me.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lindsay learned about the transformative nature of travel while going through a significant life change at 30. She quit her job, sold nearly everything and went backpacking for a year. \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/for-this-solo-female-traveller-her-first-trip-abroad-in-over-20-years-was-worth-the-wait\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Solo travel <\/a>is a great conduit for problem-solving and confidence-building, or for when you need to see the world and your problems from a different perspective.\u2019<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote alignright has-text-align-left\">\n<blockquote>\n<p>I kept thinking I should be a happy newlywed right now, or I\u2019m supposed to be on a romantic honeymoon today.

So she decided to book a last-minute trip to Peru.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I wanted to knock something off my bucket list. I\u2019m a massive fan of Intrepid\u2019s trips \u2013 I\u2019d been on six already at that point \u2013 so I decided to visit a place I\u2019d been dreaming of since I was a kid: Machu Picchu.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I hoped hiking in the Peruvian Andes for a week would help me get out of my head and feel some awe and gratitude again. I wanted to do the Inca Trail, but it was far too last-minute to get a permit, so the agent booked me on the <a data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/peru\/machu-picchu\/quarry-trail\">Quarry Trail<\/a>.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Inca Quarry Trail is an alternate route to <a data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/peru\/machu-picchu\">Machu Picchu<\/a>. While it doesn\u2019t lead to the Sun Gate like the traditional Inca Trail, it\u2019s much quieter. Hikers can enjoy views of the Andes and natural landmarks like waterfalls in solitude, with no one for miles. Which is exactly what Lindsay needed.<\/p>\n<p>She met Marcia Cardenas, her Intrepid leader, the day after she arrived in Cusco and is certain fate brought them together. \u2018We hit it off right away. She was divorced, single and a badass hiking guide in a country where women are usually not any of those things at her age.\u2019<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\">\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\">\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:66.75347%\">\n<figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img class=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/tuggleintrepidperu-1-6-1-1024x1024.jpg?strip=info&amp;w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/tuggleintrepidperu-1-6-1-1024x1024.jpg?strip=info&amp;w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/tuggleintrepidperu-1-6-1-1024x1024.jpg?strip=info&amp;w=1125&amp;ssl=1 1125w\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"1125\" data-id=\"64174\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/?attachment_id=64174\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/tuggleintrepidperu-1-6-1-1024x1024.jpg\" data-width=\"1125\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/tuggleintrepidperu-1-6-1-1024x1024.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Open image 1 of 3 in full-screen\"\/><img class=\"lazyload\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/tuggleintrepidperu-1-6-1-1024x1024.jpg?strip=info&amp;w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/tuggleintrepidperu-1-6-1-1024x1024.jpg?strip=info&amp;w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/tuggleintrepidperu-1-6-1-1024x1024.jpg?strip=info&amp;w=1125&amp;ssl=1 1125w\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"1125\" data-id=\"64174\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/?attachment_id=64174\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/tuggleintrepidperu-1-6-1-1024x1024.jpg\" data-width=\"1125\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/tuggleintrepidperu-1-6-1-1024x1024.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Open image 1 of 3 in full-screen\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Lindsay ended up being the only traveller on the three-day hike, and every step she took alongside Marcia brought her closer to finding her own feet again. \u2018Marcia and I chatted the whole time, switching between English and Spanish so we could each practice the each other\u2019s language. I can\u2019t tell you how much I adored her.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018This Quechuan woman made me laugh, offered amazing advice, introduced me to her friends and culture and led me out of the woods.

As hoped, the Quarry Trail had no foot traffic, so Lindsay and Marcia pretty much had the trail all to themselves.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It was in those mountains in Peru that I could finally step back for the first time and look at my unexpected life event as something I could grow stronger from.
