Solo female travel

Solo travel is on the rise. And that is especially true for female travellers. According to a report by Hostelworld, the number of women choosing to travel the world solo has almost doubled in the last four years. The accommodation booking service says the number of solo female bookings has increased by 88% since 2015. And on Google, the average monthly search volume for the phrase ‘solo female travel’ grew by 52% between 2016 and 2017 and continues to rise.

Advantages of solo travel

It can be daunting to travel by yourself and it may not suit everybody, but there are advantages to doing it your own way. Research by the Me, Myself & Thailand project has identified that solo female travellers are motivated to go their own way for these key reasons:

Inspiration and self-discovery
Getting out of your comfort zone
Experience new cultures
Overcoming fears
Developing confidence
Recharge and relax
Challenge yourself
Make a difference
Meet new people
Search your soul
Learn new skills

Although the Me, Myself & Thailand guide is aimed at solo female travellers, there is plenty of useful information in there that all travellers may find useful.
