The Ultimate Guide for Conquering the World as a Solo Female Traveler

Exploring the world alone as a female might sound seem daunting to some. Safety is always a concern, especially when visiting countries with a high rate of femicide, but when you have a real burning desire to travel, and none of your friends, family members or your partner (if you’re in a relationship) are available, going solo is always an option if you take the precautions. 

The bright side of solo traveling is that you might discover more. Why? Because traveling alone encourages you to become more adaptable, trust in your judgment with less hesitation, exert self-reliance and engage in self-reflection. So if you’re ready to embark into a solo travel getaway, here are some key tips:

5Book a Good Flight

Flight itinerary Belatina

Many people like to book a package deal with flights and accommodation included — which is a good idea — but sometimes to get the best flights you need to find a hotel separately. Consider what airline you would like to fly based on your prior experiences and if you are a first-time traveler talk to your friends for their recommendations. Travelers should always choose a reputable airline with comfortable accommodations (seating, beverage/food service, etc.) and good reviews.

Take a Dose of Confidence Wherever You Go

A lack of confidence in organizing and navigating a long foreign trip alone can make you feel overwhelmed. The hassle of taking planes, trains, or automobiles shouldn’t be a concern. Prepare routes and locations beforehand. Stagger your trips and make sure you have enough time to make the connections.
