Traveling solo as a female is an empowering and life-changing experience. It offers freedom, adventure, and self-discovery. But let’s be honest there are moments when you crave good company, a shared meal, or just someone to explore with.
While solo travel allows you to embrace independence, it doesn’t mean you have to experience everything alone. The founder of Friendchise, Hanna, has experience in solo travel as a female and feels that creating meaningful relationships with other female travelers on the road makes the travel experience a lot richer.
With that note, Friendchise was founded so that you can effortlessly meet new people in your destinations and turn strangers into friends without the hassle of going through an endless number of social media platforms.
Why meeting people matters in solo travel
Traveling solo as a female comes with unparalleled freedom. You decide where to go, what to see, and how you spend your time. But beyond the independence, meeting new people along the way can make your journey even more memorable. According to the Hostelworld’s report on London Stock Exchange more than half of solo travelers rank the people they meet on the trip as the most memorable aspect of solo travel. That said, sharing meals, conversations, and experiences with like-minded travelers can transform a trip into something extraordinary.
