An Influencer who was sick of being single made the decision to go on a “solo honeymoon” and made the commitment to no longer rely on men to make her happy.
According to Jam Press, Brittany Allyn disclosed that she came to London in 2022 to freeze her eggs before scheduling her ideal holiday to France and Italy.
Allyn has since been enjoying her single life to the fullest.
“I think everyone has days where they’re like, I want that, the deep romance – but mostly I don’t feel pressure to get married,” said Allyn in a Youtube video. ” I heard this quote once that if you got married at 50, to the love of your life, you could be with this person for 30 years.”
“My longest relationship was around five years and that felt like forever, so 30 years to be with the love of your life makes me so happy, I’m not in a rush,” continued the influencer.
According to Allyn, her outlook on life comes from her parents.
“I had really supportive parents, realists and they’re just like, ‘Britt, we want you to experience everything in life to have so much fun’,” said Allyn.
Allyn recalled hearing from her parents that marriage is wonderful. Children are wonderful, but they are not the ideal solution, and having children or a great marriage is not something that everyone is blessed with.
Her parents, according to the influencer, urged her to enjoy every moment of life.
Even though the Seattle native loves her life, she nevertheless worries about cultural expectations.
“My 20-year-old self was completely different, I wanted to be a stay-at-home mom,” confessed Allyn. “I was in love with a guy that I knew from high school and I thought that ‘we are going to live in the same town and get married and have kids by 27 or 30’, and I would have some passion projects on the side.”
“But I was just going to be a mom and never leave Seattle but at 25, we broke up and I have gone in a completely different direction,” continued Allyn. “I think she would be in awe and also think it’s quite cool that what she thought was true in life was actually the opposite – anything that you think is going to happen probably won’t really happen.”
Her parents, according to the influencer, urged her to enjoy every moment of life.
Even though the Seattle native loves her life, she nevertheless worries about cultural expectations.
Since the breakup, Allyn realized a honeymoon shouldn’t be confined to married couples.
“There are so many places I wanted to go, but I was waiting for that perfect partner, the perfect relationship,” said Allyn. “South of France, was one of them, and Venice, Italy, going on a gondola ride, going on an African safari, now that I am in my mid to late thirties, I’m like, wait, why am I waiting?”
Since going on her travels, Allyn has posted her journey on social media and served as a source of empowerment to other single women.
“People really loved that content, I think I’ve probably had a thousand messages of women planning their own me-moons,” gushed Allyn. “It’s been really cool to know that’s inspired women to solo travel, and I would say you’re not going to regret it.”
“It’s such an empowering feeling to know I was brave, I did this when I’m doing something for myself, you know, I’m an interesting person that wants to explore the world,” continued Allyn. “When you’re on it’s less scary – I’ve made some videos to hopefully help women go through all the nuances of solo travel, like dining alone.”
Even though Allyn has a positive outlook on things, her video has come under fire from several internet trolls.
“It’s always just random men that are trolls and I’m like, if it’s not clear, like this page is not for you so please leave,” stated Allyn. “I am not asking you to be part of this conversation, but it’s always misogynistic, insecure men that make comments.”
She has reportedly decided to put off becoming a mother for the time being in favour of travelling the globe, according to Allyn.
“Egg freezing in America is insanely expensive and only really big tech companies or big corporations usually cover it,” explained Allyn. “Otherwise it can be around $18,000 and so I couldn’t afford that.”
Allyn revealed that the first time she tried to freeze her eggs, the medicine didn’t work and she eventually had to stop taking it but it that hasn’t deterred her.
“My body just wasn’t picking up the medicine correctly, my follicles were not growing, so after eight days, I had to stop,” said the influencer. “Hopefully this spring and probably next fall too I’ll try freezing again and so once I do that, I think I’m really going to have a lot of peace of mind.”
