Schedule a consultation call with me today to start planning your adventure with a fellow solo traveler in your corner.
You’re Not Alone in Wanting to Go Alone
If you’ve ever found yourself daydreaming about exploring a new place on your own, but then immediately felt overwhelmed by the thought of traveling solo, you’re not alone. So many women I talk to feel that pull, but hesitate to act on it.
I get it, because I’ve been there too.
In 2021, I left everything familiar behind and moved to South Korea on my own. For four years, I solo traveled all over Asia. Before I took the leap, I was nervous, hesitant, and thought about changing my mind. Looking back now, I get emotional just thinking about how much I would’ve missed out on if I hadn’t gone for it. Visiting Angkor Wat at sunrise? Making friends with elephants in Thailand? Scuba diving the Great Barrier Reef? I never would’ve had these incredible experiences, and many more, if I hadn’t done them on my own.
Solo travel for women is all about seeing the world on our own time, in our own way. No more waiting around for friends, family, or partners to finally coordinate schedules, desired destinations, and travel styles. The beauty of solo travel is that you can go where you want, when you want, and do whatever you want.
Solo travel is such a passion in my life that now I help other women experience the magic of solo travel for themselves. Whether that means joining the perfect group tour or crafting a fully custom, supported itinerary, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
What’s Holding You Back?
Common Fears About Solo Travel For Women
Before every solo trip, even now, I get a little nervous. It’s totally normal! The most common worries I hear from women include:
“Is it safe?”
Safety is always the number one concern with solo travel for women, and rightly so. But there are so many ways to travel smart and stay safe, including choosing the right destinations and researching safety tips in advance. Luckily for you, I’ve done the research and personally experienced many solo travel destinations worldwide myself, so we can talk through these concerns in your consultation call.“What if I get lonely?”
I’m not going to sugarcoat it and say that you’ll never get lonely. But, in all my solo travels, I’ve never felt lonely for more than a day or so at a time. In fact, most days were the complete opposite of lonely. You’ll meet so many other travelers, including fellow solo women. I have so many friends worldwide who I bonded with over being solo female travelers. If loneliness is a big concern for you, consider joining a group tour - more information on this option below.“I don’t know how to plan something like this.”
That’s where I come in. The logistics of travel can be a lot, from booking all aspects of your trip to figuring out local customs. It’s especially a lot when the entire responsibility falls on you as a solo traveler. But you don’t have to do it alone - as a solo travel expert, I’ll take care of everything and be there to support you before, during, and after your trip.
Why Solo Travel for Women is Truly Life-Changing

You get to know yourself better.
Away from your busy everyday life, you reconnect with yourself.You become more confident.
Navigating a foreign city or catching a bus in a new language feels like a superpower. Once you’ve done that, you feel like you can do anything.You follow your own schedule.
Want to eat noodles for breakfast or take a mid-morning waterfall hike? You can, because it’s all up to you.You’ll be inspired in ways you can’t yet imagine.
Solo travel has a way of inspiring new ideas, healing old wounds, and waking you up to everything you’re capable of.
Group Tour or Solo Itinerary?
There’s No One Right Way to Travel Solo
Solo doesn’t have to mean that you’re alone all the time. In fact, there are so many ways to make it your own.
Group tours can be a fantastic option, especially for first-timers. You get the freedom of traveling on your own, plus the structure and safety net of a small group. It’s great if you’re worried about making friends or being overwhelmed by logistics. I work with vetted tour operators who are great for solo women, and I can match you with the best group tour for your travel goals.
Custom solo itineraries are for the woman who wants full independence, but with my expert guidance behind the scenes. I’ll help you plan a trip that matches your energy, comfort level, and goals, from relaxing in Japan’s countryside to hiking in Northern Thailand.
