Wise Words From Female Travellers Who Are Just Like You

At Stepabroad, we are always so inspired by our female travellers who embrace solo travel and fearlessly venture out into this amazing world. It can be intimidating travelling alone for the first time. We’ve experienced this ourselves, which is why we are here for our participants every step of the way. Within a few months, we find our travellers gain a sense of confidence, self-awareness and wonder. Through their experiences abroad, our female travellers return home as more empowered and courageous women.

Today we want to shine a spotlight on just a few of our female participants whose journeys have inspired us – we hope they inspire you too!

NAVDEEP, WHY DO YOU THINK IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO TRAVEL?

“Travelling is important because of the number of invaluable lessons it provides. Travel introduces you to people that you wouldn’t typically interact with or have the chance to meet. It is important to converse with people from different backgrounds and cultures because you unearth so much about the world, and yourself, by speaking with people who challenge your views and ideas.”

ANNA, WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO TRAVEL?

“I wanted new experiences, to meet new people, see new places and immerse myself in the unfamiliar. The experience is exciting, it brought me out of my bubble and gave me a new perspective on my own existence. I really love the sense of freedom you get by travelling – having no set plan meant I could go anywhere, and do anything.”

CASSANDRA, WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED ABOUT YOURSELF THROUGH TRAVEL?

“Traveling has allowed me to step out of my comfort zone in ways that I could not have ever imagined. If I did not travel, I would not have grown into the woman that I am today. Not only has travel broadened my knowledge of other cultures, cities, and countries, but it has made me more confident, adventurous, and excited about what life has to offer!”

GENEVIEVE, HOW HAS SOLO TRAVEL EMPOWERED YOU?

“Solo travel is all I have known really. I attribute it to being impatient in the most wonderful way. Am I supposed to compromise my desire to go somewhere amazing just because my friends are busy? No! Solo travel has empowered me to do what I want, when I want, without having to rely on anyone else but myself.”
