After heading on a work trip to an undisclosed location to round out the first week of the new year, Alix Earle checked in with her 8.2 million TikTok followers to give them an update on her latest adventures.

“I was just in four different countries the past two days,” Earle started the over three-minute-long video posted yesterday, Jan. 7, before diving into her solo travels across the globe. “I think that’s been a big thing I want to take going into this year is just, like, meeting new people, talking to them, talking about life,” the 25-year-old said after detailing her 48-hour international excursion. Then, she shared another specific ambition that she has already put to the test.

“Being independent is a big goal for me this year,” the content creator continued. “[It’s] something I really wanted to work on in 2026, and I think I’ve been doing a good job, like, going out, making new friends, meeting new people.”

And while we’re only eight days into the new year, Earle had already charted unknown territory before it even began. Before her celebrity-filled trip to St. Barths—which included notable attendees like The Vampire Diaries leading lady Nina Dobrev and Chad Powers star Glen Powell—the content creator admitted she was originally nervous to head to the Caribbean island. “I’m not gonna know everyone in the group, but I think this is gonna be good,” she said in a Dec. 28 TikTok clip.

Nine days later, she elaborated on her progress and how she has learned to get comfortable with being on her own in unfamiliar spaces. “I think it’s different when you don’t have, like, you know, someone by your side, 24/7, and you’re kind of just like having to go out and do those things for yourself,” she explained. “I always kind of just, like, rely on other people to, like, do the [conversing] for me.”

Yet, while Earle’s 2026 ambitions are a personal endeavor, they are supported by her loyal fan base. In the post’s comment section, a plethora of fellow TikTok users encouraged the social media multihyphenate to keep moving forward in pursuit of her goals.

“I’m loving this energy, keep going, keep growing 🫶🏻,” one commenter wrote. Another fan chimed in, “You’re a Sagittarius, we are meant to be independent, spontaneous and to travel/adventure even if it’s on our own ✨.”
