If you struggle to make time for yourself or feel like your life is dedicated to the service of others \u2013 be it people you help through your job, decades spent raising your children or looking after sick or elderly parents \u2013 there can come a time where you reflect and feel a little lost. Who were you before you became a mother? What activities or hobbies did you once enjoy? Cut the cord of responsibility and travel alone as a woman to rediscover what you enjoy and who you are with solo female travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>RELATED CONTENT:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/travel-director-career-travel-being-mum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Travel Director Stephanie on juggling a career in travel, with being a Mum<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2020\/05\/two-women-hiking-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/two-women-hiking-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/two-women-hiking-330x186.jpeg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/two-women-hiking.jpeg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-travelling-solo-is-popular\">Travelling solo is popular<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re not the only one who wants to be travelling alone &#8211; solo female travel bookings have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.condorferries.co.uk\/female-travel-statistics#:~:text=73%25%20of%20travel%20agents%20found,few%20years%20in%20this%20market\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">increased 45%<\/a> in the last few years. 72% of American women like to take trips solo, while 54% of British women are more likely to take trips alone now than they were five years ago.

Wake up and embrace who you are, how you like to travel and use the alone time of the early morning to reflect on your life journey. The same goes if you love to sleep until noon and like to stay out until late in evening. Maybe your usual travel buddy drags you along to the theatre or art galleries and you join because you\u2019re friends. When you travel alone as a woman you can please yourself \u2013 skip the galleries and spend the day at the beach, if that\u2019s what you want to do. Or lean into your hobbies and interests and turn your solo female travel experiences into a weekend skiing trip or all-female yoga retreat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>RELATED CONTENT: <\/strong><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/five-best-solo-travel-destinations\/\"><strong><em>Five of The Best Solo Travel Destinations<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-find-a-new-travel-tribe\">Find a new travel tribe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you travel alone as a woman there are of course extra precautions to take while exploring new, unknown places. It\u2019s why many solo female travellers choose to join a guided tour for some or all of their vacation time. You\u2019re no longer travelling alone when you align with other like-minded travellers on tour, and the friendships and bonds you will make with others will stay with you for a long time.
