Why Solo Women Travel Is Enjoyed

By Dorothy Foster


These days, more and more women are on the road, traveling on their own. In the past, they joined up with coach tours and with other people in groups. But solo women travel is something which has grown in a big way. There are so many places to explore, and so many things that one can do in different parts of the world.

There are many reasons why a woman decides to be more independent like this. Sometimes, it is a decision she has made to actually be more confident and grow within herself. She wants to make sure that she is moving on from some trauma that she has suffered from. It could be a loss of a loved one or a divorce that has set her back in life.

A lot of young women, especially will head off this way for as long as a year to work in a school, teaching English to kids. They may help in the community, doing some farming. When they volunteer they will have a place to stay. At times, they will stay with families, and this can be an experience which they won't forget about. It can enrich their lives.

This is often why it is called the university of life. You can go to university and learn about a subject of your choice. But you won't actually get to experience it in a far off place until you go there. This is a first hand experience which will provide you with many memories. There will be challenges along the way, but this is how you learn and gain confidence.

It may be a little daunting, going on your first solo trip. However, when you have a plan on the first trip, then you will know where to go and what you want to do. You will not have any disasters. When you have a massive disaster on your first trip, it can be a problem. You may lose some confidence. However, as you become more accustomed to this, you will find that challenges are part of the process.

Traveling like this has been said to be the university of life. Young women are encouraged to take part in a journey which is safe should she be on a gap year. Often, young people don't have an idea of what they want to do. As they have different experiences in their travels, they also get a better idea of what they want to do. They will also get to build their character.

You also need to make this easier on you. Today it is a lot simpler with the advancement of technology. Make sure that your phone is always charged and that you have a portable charger. You can be sure that you are able to book an Airbnb when you need to. There are times when you have to book an Uber or another taxi service as well.

One gets a lot of freedom by learning to make choices and decisions. It can be the best thing to decide to travel solo when you don't like making decisions for other people. It can be a real nuisance being held up by a travel partner. They can let you down. Often, you just want to do your own thing, and it gives you a chance to meet a range of other people.
