🎯#1 Sober Travel Adventures with @AlisonFromAshes: No Booze, Just Views!

Think sober travel sounds dull? Think again! @AlisonFromAshes ditched alcohol at 33 and found that sobriety makes adventures way more memorable. Her first booze-free trip? Puerto Rico, where she celebrated six months sober with guava cake and a stunning sunrise. Bonus: she actually remembered the whole thing—no hangovers, no regrets!

Now, Alison’s a globe-trotter, hitting spots like Madagascar and Morocco, proving that travel without alcohol is not only possible but amazing. Her secret sauce? Distractions like puzzles and podcasts, finding local recovery meetings, and leaning on a support crew.

Alison’s story shows sobriety isn’t a buzzkill—it’s a ticket to fully enjoying life and every adventure it brings. So, take a page from her book (or blog) and pack your bags for a trip where the only thing spinning is the globe.

🎯#2 Cheers to Sobriety: Kathleen Ramon's Ultimate Guide to Traveling Alcohol-Free Like a Pro!

Traveling sober? No problem! Kathleen Ramon’s guide to alcohol-free adventures is packed with tips from her 15 years of experience and stories from other sober travelers. The key? Plan ahead and know your triggers! Start by choosing a destination that feels right for you—whether it’s far from bar crawls or smack in the middle of the action (if you’re up for the challenge). Booking sober-friendly accommodations with wellness perks like yoga and mocktails can make your trip extra enjoyable.

Before heading out, pack a wellness kit with healthy snacks, herbal teas, and tools to stay calm, like a journal. Airports and planes might tempt you, but traveling with a supportive buddy or having a solid plan can help you stay strong.

When it’s all done, celebrate your success! Reflect on how much you’ve grown and share your story to inspire others. Who knows? You might be the next sober travel influencer!

🎯#3 Choose Life, Choose Adventure: How Sober Travel Transforms Recovery into a Thrill Ride!

If you’re a millennial or Gen X’er with a flair for rebellion, you might remember Trainspotting—that edgy movie where Ewan McGregor’s character sarcastically monologues about “choosing life” while choosing drugs instead. For the founder of Choose Life Sober Adventures, that quote hit hard during teenage years full of angst, big egos, and even bigger self-doubt. Back then, it seemed like a snarky anthem for rejecting life’s boring routine.

Fast forward to recovery, and that “Choose life” mantra flipped its meaning. Now, it’s about embracing freedom, joy, and adventure—things addiction had stolen. Enter Choose Life Sober Adventures: a group dedicated to exploring the world while staying sober. From Costa Rican rainforests to Kenyan safaris, the journey is about connection, discovery, and rewriting life’s narrative. Turns out, choosing life isn’t boring at all—it’s the ultimate adventure.

🎯#4 Sober Curious? Maggie Downs Reveals the Unexpected Joys of Traveling Alcohol-Free!

Maggie Downs shares her experience of traveling alcohol-free, starting with a trip to Greece. She was used to associating travel with drinking—hostel parties, bottomless mimosas, and airport martinis. But after quitting alcohol in 2020 to improve her well-being, her travels took a new turn. In Greece, she faced a challenge: the abundance of wine, ouzo, and raki from friendly hosts. However, she learned to navigate these situations with a few clever tricks, like planning her drink before heading out and bringing her own go-to non-alcoholic options. Maggie reminds us that people don’t really care what you drink—so stick to your own choices, and enjoy the journey!

🎯 #5 From Booze to Bali: How Solo Travel Can Transform Your Life (Bob Marier’s Ultimate Sober Adventure)!

Bob Marier, a celebrity sober coach who’s been alcohol-free for 24 years, explains how solo travel is the ultimate cure for addiction. Before he got sober, his vacations were all about finding the nearest bar – even in amazing places like Rome! But now that he’s sober, he’s living in the moment, exploring the world solo, and loving it. Whether he’s riding motorcycles in Miami or skiing on his own, solo travel lets him experience life without distractions. Bob shares that when you quit drinking, your brain wakes up and you start seeing the world in a whole new way. Instead of getting stuck in drama or drinking, he’s enjoying real adventures, forming real relationships, and being grateful for the present. So, forget the booze and let solo travel show you what life is all about!
