The Bag Tag sits down with Heidi Brown, a writer and seasoned solo traveler, to explore her transformative journey from legal textbooks to crafting a vulnerable, soul-stirring travel memoir rooted in her life-changing connection to Rome. Heidi opens up about how travel became one of her core well-being pillars, shares practical solo-travel wisdom, and reflects on the healing, growth, and unexpected friendships she found along the way—including through her love of U2. It’s an inspiring conversation about finding yourself through movement, embracing curiosity, and letting the world shape you in the best possible ways.
