Boarders are open again so of course we are preparing for our next trip. With so many destinations in mind, I’ve started looking at ways to make the most of my overseas adventures – and that includes solo travel.
I know that travelling alone can feel pretty scary at times especially when you’re unfamiliar with the language and the customs of a different country. To help you feel confident enough to travel solo so you can experience the beauty of the world, I’ve found 7 places fellow travellers have deemed safe for women to travel alone in.
Remember, the best way to stay safe while adventuring overseas is to do a little research, always let someone at home know where you are and have your wits about you. Smiles and good vibes also go a long way.

There are countless reason to take a trip to Iceland, but I think its natural beauty really does shine through! Join a tour and snorkel or dive the Silfra Fissure and hike a glacier.
And don’t miss a bath at the beautiful Blue Lagoon!
