At 72, Anne Smith understands what it means to start over.
When she became single later in life, the idea of travelling alone, even something as simple as dining solo - felt overwhelming.
But through gentle courage and practical steps, Anne found herself on a path of independence, adventure, and deep joy.
Today, she lives in beautiful Bali, a place that has become both her home and her heartland. From here, she mentors other retired singles who feel ready for something more, but don’t quite know how to begin.
Anne isn’t here to push or pressure. She walks beside you, guiding you through the practicalities, the doubts, and the empowering moments of rediscovery.
Her philosophy is simple:
Being single doesn’t mean being limited. It means being free to write a new chapter - one filled with travel, confidence, connection, and life.
Whether you’re newly retired or navigating life after loss, Anne Smith is here to guide you into your next chapter — through travel, community, and confidence.
Anne isn’t a tour guide. She’s your personal mentor and confidant - a woman who’s lived through big life transitions and found freedom on the road. She offers guidance, emotional support, and practical tips to help you travel with peace of mind.
You don’t need to do this alone. And you don’t need to figure it all out yourself.
Anne Smith is a qualified coach with The Coaching Masters, offering both one-on-one and group mentorship for individuals who are ready to make a change, but aren’t sure where to begin.
Her clients include retirees, widowed partners, empty nesters, solo travellers, and anyone feeling called toward something new — but held back by uncertainty, fear, or lack of direction.
Anne brings lived experience, structured tools, and heart-led guidance to help you take the next step — whether that’s booking a flight, reconnecting with joy, or simply believing in yourself again.
