Solo Female Travel – 15+ Years and 6 Continents Later

I’ve been traveling the world for more than 15 years now, across six continents solo – and it is just as exciting today as it was in the beginning!

I still believe that solo travel has a powerful and positive impact on women. It single-handedly has the power to make you more confident, more humble, more direct, and more self-reliant than anything else in the world.

If you are considering your first of 50th solo trip, I urge you to go for it. Do it. Breathe in all the experiences – the good, the bad, the frustrating. And in the end, you will come through it all stronger than before!

I hope that this collection of solo female travel resources has helped you gather everything you need for your trip. And, maybe I will see you on the road!
