"I'm a married mum-of-three but I take multiple solo trips a year for me time"
A mum leaves her husband and kids at home while going on EIGHT solo holidays a year - and says it 'makes her a better wife and mother'. Huda Alvi, 39, loves to travel and has spent her 30s prioritising 'me time' - calling her solo holidays "an act of self-love". She jets off for up to five nights at a time and can spend up to $5k on each trip - from solo backpacking around Costa Rica and Colombia to jaunts to Paris, France, and dreamy cruises exploring Vietnam. The mum-of-three makes sure she fills each trip with culture and adventure - whether it's paragliding in mountains of Guatemala, Mexico, or exploring Costa Rica on the back of a quadbike. Huda says her solo trips make sure she's a better wife and mother as she's more fulfilled, better rested and 'fills her cup back up'.
