We believe all women have the right to travel and experience the world regardless of their background

03/03/2025

After spending a month in Costa Rica, there was much to see and learn about sustainable tourism. 🍃

Firstly, it's famous for its incredible amount of volcanoes, national parks, and beaches.

Also, the animals–Costa Rica has about 25% of the world's biodiversity in a country the size of Slovenia (tiny.)

From conservation efforts to animal protection, the country does a lot right. But something noticeable is how tourist towns like Manuel Antonio are starting to feel the same everywhere in the world.

It could be Spain or Thailand.

But when you get off the beaten path, it gets more interesting; the coffee region of Tarrazau, for one, is beautiful.

That's probably the biggest lesson with visiting popular countries: to get off the beaten path and steer away from replicated tourist towns.

Have you had a similar experience when visiting a popular country?

Have you ever been abroad and found yourself in a situation where ordering the right coffee becomes a challenge?

When travelling to a place for a longer trip, it's always helpful to learn some phrases in the local language.

A thank you, and a smile goes a long way.

What's been your most awkward moment lost in translation?

Sometimes, the best self-care is to switch off the phone and be present.

After a long day, do you find yourself mind-numbingly scrolling through social media for hours... until you hit the cat videos?

Sometimes, it's good to switch off completely: no social media updates, no TikTok trends, and no stories about what your colleagues from five years ago are up to.

That's why it's worth putting your phone away when travelling. To enjoy the moment without feeling the urge to make an instant post or spend hours editing videos or doom scrolling.

Sometimes, it feels like a big exhale to reflect and relax without the constant distractions.

Have you tried a digital detox? How did you feel?

For a long time, travel has been centred around white people–the image of the explorer and the typical tourist.

But did you know more women travel solo than men? 🙌

And more women of colour are travelling than ever before.

We aren't the first to break barriers, but more of us are hitting the road solo, on group trips, and with friends without the need for male consent.

We face different cultural, racial, and financial barriers, but travel is now more accessible, with countless FB groups, apps, vlogs, blogs, and everything in between.

So it's inspiring to see so many are breaking with generational norms that place women as homemakers and instead are forging their own paths.

So, if you've been thinking about it, don't keep waiting; go where you've always dreamed of. ✨

When was your first big trip?

Join us on a short but sweet solo female tour through the landscapes of Armenia, deep into the caves, through the fields and across the lake...

A small group trip that supports women artists throughout, from chefs to craftswomen and artists who are keeping their culture alive. ✨

See it all, try the rich food, disconnect from the world for a week, and who knows, maybe you'll leave with some new inspiration and a love of Armenian cheeses (they're pretty great!)

The point of a solo female tour is you can come alone, but you'll meet others on the trip! So, no more waiting for friends who never seem to make it or are the perfect partners - go your own way. 🍃

Want to come along next year? DM for more details!

There are so many ways to keep busy while solo travelling; it doesn't have to be lonely or boring.

One of the best things to do is join a walking tour. They're usually really affordable, and it's a great way to meet other travellers, especially if you're not staying in a hostel. Guides also typically give great advice on the best places to eat and things to do.

If you're not a fan of common history, there are alternative walking tours of lesser-known neighbourhoods, or in our case, our Decolonising London Walking Tour with all that hidden info on the British Empire.

What's the best walking tour you've been on?

Why?

There's no one reason why women are more likely to travel solo, but maybe we just get tired of waiting around for the perfect travel partner or friend who wants to go exactly where we want.

Maybe we're used to getting things done ourselves and being independent...

Or maybe times are just changing, and we are ready to see the world on our terms (no husband needed.)

We probably also realise that there's so much more freedom in not having to make plans around other people.

Being able to set your own budget and timeline. The choice to wake up at 5am for a sunrise or to sleep till noon.

It's no surprise more women are travelling solo than ever before.
