TOP 4
FEMALE ONLY TRIPS by Joanna Neve
I’ve been incredibly lucky to travel solo to some of the most amazing places, including a month in Thailand and nearly two months in Nepal, as well as many shorter trips in European cities. But travelling alone can be scary, especially as a woman. In recent years tour companies have spotted this problem and a few now offer women only tour groups – allowing solo and single women to still travel and see the world! As there are quite a few around, we’ve taken the time to sift through them and here are our top picks. Maybe International Women’s Day will inspire you to try one out? 1. THE WEEKEND TRAVELLER (Girls on Travel, girlsontravel.co.uk) Since Egypt is very close to Europe, this company might be a good choice for women fancying a little weekend away at some point, but not a long trip. They offer short city breaks across Europe, so book two days off work around the weekend and you’ll be able to fit a decent break in. In April they have two tours running, one to Istanbul and another to the Jersey Channel Islands – exciting!
