Everybody tells you all the time that you can’t, or you shouldn’t, or you should have a guy with you, or you should make sure you’re in a group, and in order for your safety or something’s gonna happen to you.

And when you actually get out there and you realise that you don’t need you know, some guy sitting next to you, like holding your hand basically the whole time, like you don’t need that, you don’t even need other people to keep you safe, you can do it on your own, it gives you that sense of independence, that yeah, you can do this.

Travelling alone is what a lot of women want to do.

But feel unsure about their safety whilst being alone.

Solo trips are empowering and as women, we all want one thing.

And that’s equality, in all aspects of life, including travelling.

So this is what I ask you.

When a woman you know tells you she wishes to leap out into the world, encourage and reassure her.
