Why EVERY Woman Should SOLO TRAVEL

[@TheBarbaraHorvat]

I plan on doing my first big solo travel with my backpack and on feet. (I've done smaller ones around one state before) I plan to travel through the states and I am so terrified yet excited yet anxious yet happy yet butterfly-filled :)

[@Bemytravelmuse]

That's totally how I felt before I went!

[@stpatrickcentre7694]

Welcome to Kenya we show you around and it's safe

[@suzi-c]

I'm 46 and 2 days ago I booked flights for Rome in March, it will be my first time ever going on a trip solo, im on a bit of a journey with myself at the moment so I want to experience this 😊

[@Bemytravelmuse]

Woohoo! Have the best time.

[@anacarvalho2833]

I so wanna do that. I am planning as well

[@eddie918]

How was it?!

[@swisdom9117]

How was it?

[@c.uni2370]

Looking for updates 👀😁

[@teacherg922]

I woke up from a really deep anxiety. I want to go out of my comfort zone and now preparing myself to go on solo backpacking. Thank you! 🤍🍃

[@Bemytravelmuse]

Yay have the best time!

[@anastasiaklein4674]

I am solo traveling in Greece atm. And I am absolutely loving it! Highly recommended to everybody needing a time out from an everyday stress/routine/unsolved problems/unanswered questions 😬

[@wild_childofthe80s]

Definitely :) All the best x x

[@anniesshenanigans3815]

my hope is to slow travel, single. I am not after the wild adventure, I am in my late 50's. Yours is the first channel that I have found with women, single, traveling and not rushing through it.

[@Bemytravelmuse]

Slow travel is the best. you really get to know a place!

[@Cikanyoro]

It's crazy how people find it hard to imagine solo travel

[@swisdom9117]

It sorta is crazy, especially for someone like me. I'm 22 with no close friends, living with parents, never lived on my own, work from home

[@cherylwade264]

@@swisdom9117 Try visiting a middle sized city . If you like living museums or art museums, botanical gardens or outdoor activities then pick something you would enjoy and go

[@simplysunshine9868]

OMG - YES 🤗 I am planning my 1st solo travel in January 2022 for my 50th BDAY 🥳

[@Bemytravelmuse]

AMAZING!

You go girl!!! I'm doing my 1st in 2 weeks...I'm 54!!! Have the time of ur life!

[@suzi-c]

This is fabulous, please keep us updated on how it went 😊, this makes me so happy and feel so much better about my own trip im taking in March, im 46, I hope you have the most fabulous time 😊

[@Uniquemiles143]

My first solo trip was to NYC! unfortunately it took my grandma passing for me to finally have the courage to face my fear of flying long distances, and solo traveling. NYC was cool because in my Airb&b everyone that stayed in the 3 bedroom brownstone were solo travelers from Poland and Australia and we got along great! I haven’t looked back since!

[@Bemytravelmuse]

There are so many people I have met on the road who started traveling because of difficult things they had experienced. But it’s amazing you got out there and had this awesome trip!

[@andreaalgeri3199]

I'll be honest, I'm not a girl so things may be somehow easiest for me (unluckly...), but I decided to go on my first solo trip last month and it honestly was one of the best decision and experiences of my life. It was a short trip in London, so it was pretty close to my culture (Italian), but I still decided to have the "solo-travel" experience and forced myself into sleeping at hostels even though I could afford an hotel. Travelling alone really gives you some feelings which are hard to describe, it really "empowers" you and make you feel like the world is at the palm of your hand. It it weren't for covid and restrictions, I could have made the same decision you made years ago.

[@ellarae7575]

So empowering... So emotional. Thank you girl!!!💪🏾

[@Bemytravelmuse]

Yay!!

[@college12545]

I love solo travelling and it’s not just for women it’s for everyone ! I’m a male early 40s travel from Canada and i love it ! Some countries I’m still a little Leary on going too( South America and some parts of Africa and Middle East ) but I’m thinking of trying !

[@Bemytravelmuse]

Agreed it's for everyone!

[@YaritzaBetancourt]

In a couple of weeks, I will be going on my first ever solo trip. Yes I was terrified when I booked the flights but I'm so excited and I can't wait to go.

[@Bemytravelmuse]

Yay let us know how it goes for you!

[@nieceythorpe2708]

lol yes, I just booked my flight and hotel and got that terrified feeling as well. but im glad I did it , I need this

@@nieceythorpe2708 Came back from my solo trip and it was magical ✨ Would absolutely do it again. I hope you have the time of your life!

Travel rules. Women solo travelers tend to be working through something usually and are pretty adventurous in my experience.

[@marsielajones5646]

I’m 22 and I want to solo travel but I’m so scared I’ve done my research planned my trip and thought every step last thing to do is save money buy gear and then go but it seems so scary but I want to have those experiences it’s like when your on the ledge and your ready to jump but your body won’t move lol thus gives me courage to go !

[@Bemytravelmuse]

This is such a common feeling. It is scary! I was so scared before I traveled alone for the first time. Just know it's normal to feel that way and you can do it!

[@mariancounsellor]

This is really inspirational thank you. I’m hoping to take my first ever solo trip next year. It feels scary but exciting too! I’ve always travelled with a group or family so the idea of eating alone, doing activities alone etc. seems strange but also intriguing 😊

[@Bemytravelmuse]

I hope you love it!

[@snehai7142]

I’m at work the only job I have had for more than 2+ years & when you said people want this world to be a good place I started crying and now I know my next move is to travel or even just start working for myself through insta or something to travel. Cause Growing up I thought I was a hinata type(naruto) or I was more Bruce banners cousin before she became the she hulk. I reallyyhink an office has limited my 20’s and at 29 an unmarried Indian American I have a privilege most in my position do not. Alone with kick A parents who are traditional but understand individuality. I’m my culture that is truly rare. My next move is going to be to travel.

[@Bemytravelmuse]

Good for you! Have the best adventures!

[@elicardus]

Thank you for your inspiring talks! one of my biggest concerns, especially hiking alone on those amazing places is safety...have you ever lived an extreme situation, scary for a woman alone! do you practice any self-defense?

[@Bemytravelmuse]

Yes and yes, but I think the biggest thing is listening to your intuition, not walking alone at night and really watching your alcohol intake. That takes care of a lot on its own!

[@elicardus]

@@Bemytravelmuse thank you! I will definitely follow your tips close, I love you sharing all those! Thank you!

[@Alaska_Gal]

I have solo traveled alone, but next weekend I will be solo backpacking! My first time & I’m starting off easy (just 1 night), but I have been trying to push myself out of my comfort zone w/ the hopes that it will lead to even more amazing experiences! I will be hiking/camping in one of our forests located at over 8k. Yes, we have bear & mountain lion, so I’m a bit nervous, but I have solo hiked through grizzly country in Alaska, so I think I’ll be OK. 😊

[@Bemytravelmuse]

Omg I am so excited for you! Have fun! And yes I think you will most definitely be okay

[@Alaska_Gal]

[@steambunlicious]

Been debating whether to go solo or find someone to go with, and I guess this answers my question. One thing I'm afraid of is people judging me for traveling solo and since I have little ones at home, they'll label me as selfish. of course I'm planning on having family trips but Ive always wanted to travel the world since I was a little girl. And I think I found my passion. But I also know my priorities. Any advice?

[@Bemytravelmuse]

Yes, make a very short list of people whose opinion matters, and if they have concerns, listen to them and decide if you agree. Everyone else’s opinion doesn’t matter!

[@saleemkhanbest7396]

If you're doing a safari anywhere can be great. If you're solo driving and navigating, then South Africa will be the easiest, but make sure you're comfortable with the dangers before you go, as they do have a high crime rate. That said I love it so much there.

[@Bemytravelmuse]

It will probably be pretty expensive. What a lot of people do is buy and then sell after. This is really common in New Zealand. You could of course get a lemon.

I am an 18 year old german Girl and I really want to go backpacking when COVID is under control.

It's so hard when your family isn't supportive, but I just try to show them that I have thought it out and planned well, and at the end of the day, you're an adult and your life is yours, and NZ is very safe, which is a plus! You'll meet lots of people your age out there.
