Before my first solo trip, I Googled everything.

“How do hostels work?”
“What happens if I get sick in a foreign country?”
“Will essential oils really cure most illnesses?” (It was peak doTERRA era, okay?)

I was nervous.
But underneath the nerves was this loud, glowing YES — like I knew I was doing the right thing for myself.

At the time, there weren’t a ton of resources for women traveling alone.
There were blog posts and packing lists, sure…
But the best advice ended up coming from other women I met along the way.

-The girl who taught me how to use the train ticket machine in Japan.
-The divemaster in Thailand who took me out for noodles after a long day.
-The woman solo dancing in a bar in Cuba who pulled me into the fun without a word.
They made it easier. Braver. More human.

So I made it my mission to create a space for those women — the ones you meet at hostel bars, deep-sea diving, sitting solo at restaurants — to come together and support each other on purpose.

That’s how The Solo Female Traveler Network was born.
