Why Women Are Choosing to Travel Solo — And How Wovoyage is Making It Safer, Smarter & Stronger

Not long ago, the idea of a woman travelling alone across countries or continents was seen as bold — even risky. But times have changed. Today, more women than ever are stepping out of their comfort zones to explore the world on their own terms. From solo road trips to hiking trails, women are saying “yes” to freedom, discovery, and self-growth through travel. And platforms like Wovoyage are leading the way.

 

Let’s dive into why solo female travel is booming, which places are great for women travellers, what apps make it safer, and how Wovoyage is building a global sisterhood — one journey at a time.

 

 

How the World Has Changed for Women Who Travel

In the past, women faced numerous restrictions when it came to travel, including social judgments, safety concerns, and limited resources. But today, thanks to global conversations around independence, safety tools, and women-led travel platforms, things are changing.

  • Women now make up nearly 60% of solo travellers worldwide.
  • From Gen Z digital nomads to women in their 50s seeking freedom after retirement, solo female travel is no longer rare.
  • Social media has built a strong support system and inspiration for women travellers.
  • Women are no longer waiting for a friend, a family member, or a tour group to say yes. They’re going alone — and loving it.

 

 

Top Destinations for Women Travelling Solo

Choosing the right destination makes all the difference. Here are a few countries that are safe, exciting, and women-friendly:

 

Japan

  • Clean, efficient, and respectful. Great food, cultural depth, and safe even at night.

Vietnam

  • Perfect for budget travellers. Friendly locals, rich history, and great solo backpacker routes.

Portugal

  • Charming, welcoming, and filled with stunning landscapes — from coastlines to castles.

India

  • Yes, India! Especially with women-led tours. Explore Rajasthan, Kerala, Himachal — rich with colour, history, and local warmth.

Bali (Indonesia)

  • A favourite for yoga retreats, digital nomads, and healing journeys.

 

These places offer not only safety but also immersive experiences that are perfect for self-discovery.

 

 

Must-Have Apps for Solo Female Travellers

Travelling solo doesn’t mean being alone — not when you have smart tools in your pocket.

  1. Google Translate – Break the language barrier instantly.
  2. TripIt– Organise all your bookings and plans in one place.
  3. bSafe or Safetipin– Share live locations and access emergency help.
  4. Meetup – Join local events or hobby groups in your travel city.
  5. Wovoyage WhatsApp Community – Connect with fellow female travellers before, during, and after your trip!

Technology today gives women confidence to roam freely while staying connected, informed, and safe.
