The Ultimate Guide for Solo Female Travelers

Traveling Bouquet is your ultimate guide for solo female travelers, encompassing everything from travel adventures to girls’ trips around the world.

Hello and welcome to Traveling Bouquet! I’m Zainob, and since 2008, I’ve been exploring the world, mostly as a solo female traveler. While I’ve shared some of my experiences on ZeeGoes and various news platforms, I felt the need to create a dedicated space for women who travel. This female-run site is committed to empowering women with knowledge on how to travel the world safely—whether alone, with family, or with friends. Our mission is to ensure that women can experience the wonders of the world as securely as possible by sharing this ultimate guide for female travelers.

With thorough research and preparation, I firmly believe that it is safe for a woman to travel to most destinations worldwide. This approach ensures a secure and enjoyable journey.

The reality is that, as women, we often confront a constant narrative that discourages us, with people insisting, ‘It’s not safe! You can’t go there, especially alone!’ This well-intentioned advice often comes from individuals unfamiliar with extensive travel experiences, overshadowing the voices of those who genuinely explore the world.

At Traveling Bouquet, we hope to assist women in traveling the world securely. It’s not just a purpose; it’s a passion. Every word on this site is dedicated to empowering women like you to explore the world confidently and safely.

Here is a compilation of my top resources tailored for solo female travelers.
