“What’s it like being a woman?” — no, I’m not about to go on a rant about that (tempted, though). But it’s a question we’ve all been asked. Some bias here, some prejudice there — it shows up everywhere. And when it comes to safety, well, that’s one area where the world hasn’t exactly been kind to us.
But has that ever really stopped women? Yes and no. Many of us (writer included) haven’t yet gathered the courage to travel alone. Sure, some just don’t like the idea of solo travel — fair enough. But if safety weren’t such a looming concern, a lot more of us would’ve at least given it a shot, maybe even loved it.
To my surprise, I’ve been seeing so many women finally taking the plunge and showing interest in travelling solo. It’s their newfound love for experiencing new things, meeting new people, and doing it all on their own — without waiting for someone else to join in. And if you’ve been toying with a similar idea, take this as your sign. I spoke to women who’ve actually done it — those who’ve travelled solo, found safe destinations, picked up smart hacks, and learned valuable lessons along the way. Consider this your go-to guide (and maybe a little nudge) to kickstart your own solo adventure!
