And we come at last to the end of the alphabet! I always regret these A-Zs as I get to the difficult letters, the last six or so and this one is no exception. It’s been a year since I had this idea while walking around Frankfurt. I filled in about two-thirds of the letters… More The A-Z of Solo Female Travel: Z is for Zeal
I’ve said several times recently that the end of the alphabet is difficult so, yes, we’re arriving at “y not?”. Y not indeed, as the waiter howled at my granny’s favourite restaurant. And I’m going to illustrate “y not?” with pictures of me living my best life having adventures! Why travel solo? Why not? You… More The A-Z of Solo Female Travel: Y is for Y Not?
Yeah, yeah, this end of the alphabet is hard, ok? What travel-related subject begins with X? I’ve been thinking about this since I first had the idea for this series a year ago and the best I can come up with is that X is for Xenophilia. Greek, you know. Xeno- from Ancient Greek: ξένος… More The A-Z of Solo Female Travel: X is for Xenophilia
To be honest, I’m struggling a bit with this end of the alphabet. My first idea for W was Working Holidays but I don’t know anything about them except that simultaneously travelling and earning money seems a good thing. What else begins with W? And so we come to Worries. I think I’ve covered a… More The A-Z of Solo Female Travel: W is for Worries
Today we’re talking practicality again. V is for Visas! There are many countries that you can’t just turn up to, you need to get a visa. There are also many countries where you’ll need a visa but you get it on arrival. And of course, we’ve “taken back control” and we’ve now got blue passports… More The A-Z of Solo Female Travel: V is for Visas
The entire A-Z of Solo Female Travel series has pretty much assumed that your travel is going to be a bit outside your comfort zone – South East Asia, South America, Europe etc. But today I’m coming a bit closer to home, to contemplate travel in the UK and the USA, which are the two… More The A-Z of Solo Female Travel: U is for the UK and USA
Another favourite subject! T is for Transport! I see a lot of people talking about taxis and Ubers. I see people leave the airport and head straight for the taxi rank. I see advice on taxis and ride-sharing apps and that kind of blows my mind – it’s just not part of my travel world.… More The A-Z of Solo Female Travel: T is for Transport
And we come to the important one: S is for Safety! When I started planning out what was going to go with each letter, this was the first one I filled in and one that was never going to change, no matter how many other ideas beginning with S I had. Safety. Very important. This… More The A-Z of Solo Female Travel: S is for Safety
R is for Road Trips feels like another Iceland post, since that’s what I’ve just done! Road trips are a travel classic and yes, you can do them solo. I know when you say those words you’re picturing two girls, probably blonde, in an open-top car, cruising an open road in California, somewhere around early… More The A-Z of Solo Female Travel: R is for Road Trips
And so we come to the A-Z of Iceland: Q is for Queens, in which I give you some inspiration from the many solo female travellers I enjoy following on their choice of social media! This one was nearly I for Inspiration, but then it became I for Insurance. Well, this is definitely Q for… More The A-Z of Solo Female Travel: Q is for Queens
