Today is a great day because I am officially opening the Solo Travel Junkie Blog. It has been on my list for a long time. As I have been travelling solo since I was in my twenties I have felt the need of sharing my experiences. But the Solo Travel Junkie Blog is not only about my solo travels it has a higher purpose and mission. It has the ambition of inspiring women who would love to travel solo but have fear of stepping out and are seeking a supportive environment from a female community that can walk them through to empowering travel solo experiences.

I have deliberately chosen to dedicate the Solo Travel Junkie Blog only to WOMEN. Because I feel women are wonderfully social creatures who can foster their inner feminine voice and empower one another by creating a synergy of like-minded women.

Why every woman should Travel Solo

I think Solo Travel is the cornerstone of the Personal Growth Path in every woman’s life. And a  supportive environment is essential before planning your solo trip as well as when travelling solo. It is vital to be surrounded by the right people, not only because we want to go solo. We always shall want to naturally select with whom we want to be and who can help us foster our dreams and live the life we want.

I know the feeling of being talked out of travelling solo, especially at your first attempt, by unsupportive family members or by critical friends who fail to recognize the essence, the value and the benefits of travelling solo.

Travel Solo means taking a Spiritual Discovery Journey

 

Solo Travel imparts vigor to the mind, by creating clarity –  Nurtures the soul, by increasing self-esteem – Balances out you inner voice, by regaining sight of things.  – Miki Fantinel

 

As an addicted solo traveller I started travelling alone in my early twenties.  It still is my preferred way of travelling, as I travel alone by 90% of my time. And I can tell you why.

Last week I came back from my Solo Trip to London, as I attended the WTM2013. A great get-together of fellow travellers who shared their experiences and talents, an interesting event wher you can learn and share new things and be inspired. At the same time the first Asian Women Conference took place in Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia.

This was absolutely a great event, organized by the AWE and my friend Juno Kim from RunawayJuno.

Unfourtunately I could not attend the Asian Women Conference. Nonetheless I was honoured to contribute with an interview about why every woman should travel solo. This was published on the travel blog of the AWE Sponsor, Sedunia Travels.

On this link you can read my Interview about Why Every Woman Should Travel Solo. Feel free to share it or embed if you find it useful.

The post Why Every Woman should Travel Solo appeared first on Solo Travel Junkie.

I have been travelling solo since I was a student. When I was in my twenties it was not common for a woman to travel on her own, even in the western countries. I often had to face  unsupportive surrounds, friends and family who could not understand why I wanted to travel solo and what I found so good in it. Negative feedback and weird comments were not rare.

My love for travelling solo – How it all started

My love for travelling solo started during my student time, when I was in Vienna and in London. As I was living abroad on my own next to studying I wanted to explore my surrounds and see the country I was living in. I went on cultural trip around UK and Austria, later on in Germany and Spain.

On my solo trips I had the great opportunity of meeting wonderful people, making long-life frienships and experiencing new things that helped me grow as a woman and as a traveller.

I have created this website to give my contribute as a veteran female solo traveller. My goal is to create a stron community of empowered women who want travel around the word with clarity, confidence that are theirs. Who want to live through their feminine perspective and let their inner voice shine and guide them through life and travel plans.

As an old saying tell us.

“Life begins at the end of your comfort zone”

So let’s come out of the box and give it a try. Give yourself the rewards you deserve. If you feel called to this empowering way of travel then have a go. I am here to share with you my experience, my tips and create positive synergy with fellow female travellers.

If you share these values send in your story and be part of the Solo Travel Junkie community!

I am looking forward to meeting you soon!

Your Solo Travel Junkie!
