Description
About the book. What does the world look like when you travel on your own? Women Travel Solo brings together 30 personal stories from women with different backgrounds and ways of travelling. The 2025 book is about curiosity, independence and the encounters along the way, but also makes room for doubt and things that don’t go as planned. Jessica Nabongo has written the foreword.
Content. The stories range from hiking in Patagonia and meetings with reindeer-herding communities in Mongolia, to cycling between Paris and Geneva and snowboarding in the Lyngen Alps. The contributors include a retired traveller, a student and a circus performer, among others. Alongside the stories are tips on travelling alone, thoughts on dining solo, and reflections on what the authors wish they had known before setting off. Photographs give the journeys a clear frame.
Who is this book suitable for? The book suits you if you are considering a solo trip, already enjoy travelling alone, or want personal travel accounts from multiple perspectives. It can be read from start to finish or one story at a time. Use the experiences as a starting point for your own thoughts on travel style, wishes and boundaries. This is a collection of people’s experiences and reflections, with great variation in places, life stages and ambitions for the journey.
From inspiration to your own plan. Use the guide before departure to select experiences you truly desire and see them in the context of the rest of your trip. A plan with fewer stops can allow more time to become acquainted with each location. Browse with your travel companions, compare ideas, and find a balance between what you wish to achieve and what you want time to experience. Allow space for breaks and detours. A physical book is excellent to return to when discussing the next leg of the journey. Revisit an idea you have noted and let the plan evolve as you become familiar with the destination.
