Female Travel

Being a broad abroad can be a daunting prospect, especially if you’re travelling on your own. But more and more women are taking to the road each year — and it’s never been safer.

Popular backpacker destinations such as Australia, New Zealand, South East Asia and the UK are well set up for women travellers. Most hostels have both mixed dormitories and separate female dorms.

Places that have different cultural attitudes towards women, such as the Middle East, can be challenging — but  if you read up on the local customs and stay aware of your surroundings you’ll be fine.

Whatever your question — from where’re the safest places to travel to whether or not you should pack your hair straighteners — you’ll get the best advice going here.
