Travel is transformative and changes us in many ways. What is also important to note, however, is how much sustainable travel can have a positive impact on the lives of others. While our perspectives may be broadened, our travel choices and purchases can have an even greater impact. Travel empowers women in more ways than one and we are here for it. All of it.
Travel is one of the most empowering experiences a person can have. Especially if you are traveling alone. Even more so, if you’re a woman traveling alone. When you leave your comfort zone, you have to trust your instincts, be confident in your decisions and embrace opportunities that may push personal boundaries. More often than not, you’ll impress yourself and realize that the things you were anxious about weren’t so intimidating after all.
When solo travelers are seeking advice, they often look to their peers for recommendations. It can be intimidating to travel alone, so it’s not surprising that travel focused online communities are surging with popularity. Especially among women travelers.
Several online communities built by and for women travelers exist. Whether they are content creators looking for business guidance (Women in Travel Summit is a good example) or travelers simply looking to share stories and travel tips, women travelers find a kinship with one another that creates a safe, inclusive space for them to grow and thrive.
