Hi everyone, I’m a 67-year-old woman who loves to travel, and for my third solo trip, I’ve decided to explore Indonesia. I’ll be there from September 1st to October 5th, and I’m really struggling to plan my itinerary. I’d love any advice you can share—I’ll read it all carefully. So far, I’ve booked my first two nights with a local host in Jakarta, and then I’m heading to Borobudur. That’s all I’ve got planned for now. Do you think I should book accommodations and transport tickets in advance? It seems really complicated, or could I just decide day by day based on how I feel? Thanks in advance for your replies!

Hi, I'm planning a trip to Jamaica. I'd love to hear about experiences traveling solo as a woman... Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I’m planning a solo trip to Mongolia this summer, without an agency. However, I’d like to have a guide accompany me for certain parts of my journey.

From my research, I understand that most "activities," accommodations, and transportation are best arranged day by day, depending on opportunities and encounters. Without an agency, everything is organized on the spot.

I’d love to hear more opinions on this, especially regarding the Orkhon Valley.

Here’s the itinerary I’m planning: * UB -> Mörön (flight) -> Khatgal (local buses) A few days at Lake Khövsgöl * Khatgal -> Mörön -> Jargalant -> Tariat (local buses) A few days at the White Lakes * White Lakes -> Tsetserleg -> Kharkhorin (4x4 with driver) A few days in the Orkhon Valley + the Eight Lakes (horseback trekking with a guide) * Return to UB

From what I’ve gathered, the first part should be fairly straightforward, but I have questions about the Orkhon Valley. Here are my questions:

-> Tsetserleg to Kharkhorin route: Have any of you made this trip by booking a driver on the spot when arriving in Tsetserleg? Was it easy to find an available driver? And did you find it easy/difficult/impossible to find other travelers to share the ride with? Ideally, I’d like to share this leg with fellow travelers.

-> The Eight Lakes: Could you share your experience with the Eight Lakes? Did you easily find a guide directly on site? Were you able to share this experience with other travelers?

Last question for women who’ve traveled solo in Mongolia: -> How did you experience it? Do you have any specific tips or recommendations?

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Hello fellow travelers,

I’m considering a road trip (rental car) to explore the Canadian Rockies in September 2026, starting in Calgary and ending with about 10 days in Vancouver and the surrounding area. (Two weeks in the Rockies and a little under two weeks in Vancouver and nearby.)

I’d like to say that being a woman traveling alone doesn’t really bother me. That’s not the issue. Being a woman is just how it is, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon, but traveling solo is something I could fix by finding travel companions. However, I had a not-so-great experience in India with two girls who were total strangers at first and turned out to be quite annoying, so I’m a bit put off by the idea now.

My question is simple, assuming I do this trip alone: is it worth sticking *only* to driving? I have **zero** sense of direction—with a map, I’m hopeless. So, is it realistic to think, "With my GPS, I’ll just drive from Calgary to Vancouver and see what I see," since I don’t see myself hiking alone? I’m not easily scared, but I wouldn’t feel confident doing that solo. Unless all the sightseeing is done with a guide (but then, hello, the cost—my budget isn’t exactly overflowing).

What do you all think? Thanks for taking the time to read this. Take care and happy travels. Cheers, Régine

Hi, After a week of sports south of Bergen, I’m not sure what to visit during the following week between Bergen and Oslo. I haven’t planned to rent a car. I’d love your suggestions. Thanks

Bonjour, J'ai une grande envie de partir en Iran pour 3 semaines, à la mi mars 2015. Ce qui m'inquiète un peu, ce n'est pas tant d'être seule, j'y suis habituée et connais bien le moyen-orient, mais plutôt les événements actuels (Etat islamique) qui peuvent devenir peut-être dangereux. Les billets ne sont pas chers actuellement, et j'aimerai réserver avant que cela n'augmente.

Quelques conseils de la part de personnes qui connaissent mieux le terrain et l'actualité iranienne que moi seraient les bienvenus :)

Hi there! I’m in the middle of planning my first solo trip (as a woman). Do you have any ideal destinations with activities like hiking, diving, sightseeing, and easy ways to meet locals—all on a small budget?

I’d love to hear from anyone who’s had this experience before! :)

Hi there, Who could recommend a reliable agency for visiting several islands, including the parks around Komodo? I’m traveling solo as a woman. Thanks for your great tips!

Hi everyone, I’m often in transit in Tokyo and I stay at the hotel because Japanese people speak little English and the signs are almost always in Japanese! Any ideas for getting from Narita to a nice park or an onsen? I wanted to try Hokkaido, but apart from renting a car, it’s all trains! Any suggestions for a car with a driver? Or is it too expensive? Small group tours in Hokkaido? I read about the Explorator group’s offer—way too expensive!!! I’ve got a maximum of 8 days. I’d just like a nice Japanese break. Thanks for any tips you can share!

mon amie, avec qui j'ai voyagé en Iran, Birmanie et Inde, souhaitait vivement faire un voyage de un mois en Arménie Géorgie. Nous prenons donc nos vols (21/6 au 19/07) et catastrophe, plus de voyage pour elle pour de graves raisons familiales. me voici seule à partir à l'aventure.Ce n'est pas que je n'ai jamais voyagé toute seule , puisque j'ai arpenté seule l'Asie du SE durant 3 mois l'an dernier, mais je me pose tout de même quelques questions pour lesquelles vous aurez peut être la gentillesse d'avoir des réponses. * Je pense que voyager seule dans ces pays n'est pas très risqué, qu'en dites vous? * je pourrais peut être prendre un chauffeur , quel en serait le coût , car certains lieux ont l'air bien compliqués en transports en commun. Avez vous des adresses de chauffeurs? * je ne souhaite pas louer une voiture , conduite trop aléatoire surtout en Géorgie. * j'aurais aimé faire quelques jolies randonnées , existe t il des guides mon projet en quelques étapes EREVAN et environs YEGHEGNADZOR pour Novarank GORIS TATEV LAC SEVAN DILIDJAN HAGHPAT TBILISSI et environs le CAUCASE vers Mestia UPLISTSIKHE VARDZIA Retour erevan pour vol Merci à ceux qui voudront bien me répondre et partager leurs expériences

Hi, Can you share some info about Mauritius, since I’m traveling alone and would like a local contact there? Thanks.

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a few tips that really helped me better prepare my carry-on luggage. After a few trips (and some mistakes too!), I’ve finally found a way to organize myself that makes life a lot easier. Maybe this can help other travelers here. 1. Choose a practical and sturdy bag A good bag is the foundation. I’ve noticed that a model with a solid structure, sturdy wheels, and a well-thought-out interior really changes the experience. Hard-shell suitcases hold up better, especially when you’re hopping between flights. Personally, I use a Lambert suitcase because the interior is super well-divided, but the important thing is to find a model that works for you. 2. Rolling your clothes really works It’s simple, but it saves so much space. Plus, it wrinkles less. I do this now for almost everything, especially lightweight clothes. 3. Keep everything in a small kit 100 ml liquids, toothbrush, cream, mini first-aid kit… Having all of that in one clear toiletry bag makes going through security much easier. It saves you from having to take everything out and put it back in a rush. 4. A pouch for essentials Passport, headphones, charger, phone… I keep all of that in the same pouch. It saves so much stress when you need to find something quickly, especially on the plane. 5. Traveling lighter makes all the difference Since I started choosing versatile clothes that mix and match well, I travel with a lot less. Less weight, fewer decisions to make, fewer things to lug around. It honestly makes traveling so much more enjoyable. From the conversations I’ve had with other travelers (and several customers too), I’ve realized you can really simplify your trip just by organizing a little better and choosing good accessories. If you have other tips or methods that work for you, I’d love to read them. We always learn from others on this forum. Looking forward to exchanging with you all!

Hi, Has anyone recently taken the boat to Casamance from Dakar and could share their experience? From France, is it possible to book online, or do you need to go through an agency? How far in advance? Boarding/disembarking: how does it work? Do we have to check in our luggage and then pick it up on arrival? What’s the vibe like on the boat in the seating area? Has anyone ever stopped over in Carabane? Accommodation options there? Thanks so much if you have any recent info!

Exploring India by road is all about having a good driver. I highly recommend the one I’ve traveled with for 5 "safe" trips—Rajasthan 3 times over 16 years, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, and Punjab. He’s been driving tourists for 25 years now and is more than just a driver. He knows how to talk about his country, the cities you visit, and suggests alternative routes.

He’s well-connected with real local guides who don’t just ramble (as he puts it himself) or drag you into shops claiming to be run by their "so-called family." Depending on your preferences, he can suggest well-tested itineraries and recommend typical hotels like Havelis.

For dining, he oversees meal prep based on your spice-level preferences. He’s Sikh and deeply respectful of his passengers.

He speaks English better than French, but one of his daughters is studying French at university.

DM me if you’d like his contact details.

Happy travels!

Hi, We’d like to spend about twenty days in Albania next July. We’re two women traveling together and we’re thinking of renting a small car. Does that sound reasonable, or should we avoid it? Thanks for your advice.

Hi there, I’m spending a week in Morocco (Rabat - Meknes - Fes). I’ll be traveling solo—is it safe for a woman over 60? For transportation, I’m planning to take the train. I was thinking of buying my ticket last minute, but it’s around the end-of-year period…? I’ll be in Meknes on December 31st—any suggestions on how they celebrate New Year’s Eve there? Is anyone visiting these destinations? Maybe we could meet up…? Thanks in advance.

Hi there, After hearing so much about Djerba, especially the GO clubs, is it risky for a young, pretty newly-retired woman to visit the island alone? Thanks in advance.

Hi, Does anyone know how late the buses run from Cusco Airport to the city center? I land at 9:30 PM, plus time to clear customs, pick up my luggage, and exchange some money—figure an extra 30 to 45 minutes. Though, come to think of it, I still have 5 sols from last time—maybe that’ll be enough for the bus? Thanks. Brigitte

Planned arrival on Sunday evening, November 16, 2025, in San José. Staying 3 nights, then taking a bus to Tortuguero for 2 nights. Looking for a shared shuttle to La Fortuna for 2 nights, then a van-boat-van combo to Santa Elena for 2 or 3 nights. Heading to Quepos for 4 nights for day trips using local buses—Jaco, San Antonio, Uvita. After that, a full-day bus ride to Cahuita. I’m booking hotels as I go, which gives me the flexibility to stay longer in places I like. I’m looking for accommodations in city centers near restaurants and not too far from the bus station. Budget: 50 € for a room with a private bathroom (if you’ve got any great tips!). For my finale, I’ll cross the land border to Panama City for 4 days. Thanks for your suggestions! 😉

Comme je l'avais déja dit, je vais donc me rendre à istanbul l'été prochain, et j'ai entendu dire que récemment il ya avait eu pas mal d'attentats de la part des kurdes en turquie et cela frenne un peu ma décision pour mon voyage. Je voulais savoir qu'en pensez vous?🙁Et je me demande si c'est bien raisonnable de partir...

Hi everyone, I’m 66 and just discovered solo travel in Uzbekistan—I loved it! So I’ve decided to explore Africa, starting with Senegal. I’m just beginning my research, but if anyone can give me advice on which month to go, what to see, and whether this destination is safe—or maybe suggest another African country—I’d really appreciate your tips!

Hi there, We’d like to stay in Switzerland for five days. There are two of us (women). We don’t know this country at all. What cities or affordable spots would you recommend for visiting? Cheap accommodation. Looking for community-based options. And being close to public transport. Thanks for your tips and experiences! Best regards.

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone has taken a Rede Expressos bus from Lisbon Airport to Lagos, and if so, where exactly at the airport you need to board it? I’m worried I’ll get lost and miss my bus...

Hi again, I’m adding more details to my info request. Here are two proposed itineraries. We’re hesitating: Colombo - Unawatuna 2 days - Sinharaja 1 day - Bandarawela 2 days - Kandy 3 days - Dambulla 2 days - Wilpattu Park 1 day - Kalpitiya 3 days - Negombo 1 day What should we change or add a day for to include Jaffna?

Or: Negombo 1 day - Anuradhapura 2 days - Jaffna 2 days - Sigiriya 2 days - Dambulla 1 day - Kandy 2 days - Ella 1 day - Galle 3 days For your advice. Is it better to finish in Galle or Kalpitiya? Thanks in advance! Nicole

Bonjour à tous et toutes, Ce message est un message de mise en garde ! J'aimerais l'adresser, plus particulièrement, aux jeunes filles qui voyagent seules et pour la première fois en Inde. D'autres voyageurs réagiront à mon message selon leurs impressions mais il me semble que ce que je vais dire n'est pas à prendre à la légère sauf si c'est ce que vous recherchez ! En juillet dernier, j'ai voyagé dans le Nord de l'Inde. J'ai fais une halte à Khajuraho pour voir les fameux temples tantriques. J'y suis restée une nuit et c'est bien suffisant. Khajuraho est très touristiques mais il faut savoir que 80% des jeunes indiens sont des "gigolos". A Khajuraho, les commerçants locaux appellent ces jeunes hommes (entre 18 et 30 ans) des "playboys" ou bien encore " Lapka" (qui veut dire en hindi capturer la femme) !!! En effet, ils approchent les touristes avec douceur et politesse en leur proposant un thé ou bien encore un tour en moto (qu'ils se sont fait offrir par des touristes occidentales généreuses) vers les waterfalls à quelques kilomètres de Khajuraho ou vers d'autres sites touristiques. Après avoir sympathisé avec vous, ils vous charment (attention se sont des professionnels très doués, ils ne font que cela et ils le font bien), ils vous offrent à manger, à boire, l'entrée des temples pour vous mettre dans la confusion. Ils vous proposent de passer la soirée avec eux et même la nuit ! Refusez (sauf si vous aimez consommer local et que vous êtes venu pour cela) !!!! Car, dans un premier temps vous serez séduites par cette générosité, baisserez votre garde et ensuite ils vous feront croire au Grand Amour, ne vous lâcheront plus et garderont le contact avec vous par mail ou par téléphone, si vous leur donnez vos coordonnées. Les propos tenus par ces jeunes hommes pour vous attendrir et vous spolier sont : "je suis le seul à prendre soin de ma famille, mon frère est malade, je ne sais pas quoi faire..." Tout cela dans le but de vous attendrir et de vous soutirer de l'argent. Attention, ils ne vous le demanderont jamais clairement (pour éviter d'être démasqué) mais attendront que vous le proposez spontanément. Si vous recevez des e-mails de leur part, ils ne seront jamais signés, leur nom n'apparaît pas dans l'adresse mail (pour éviter de laisser des traces) pour éviter d'être dénoncés, ils correspondent sous un nom fictif. Si vous croyez à ces propos plaintifs et que vous proposez de l'aide, ils vous communiqueront un numéro de compte sur lequel vous pouvez verser de l'argent via la banque Western Union. Ces jeunes hommes ne vivent que de cela, le commerce de leur corps et l'escroquerie ! Ils sont très doués, très charmeurs, très manipulateurs, très "cheateurs" ! (en particulier un jeune homme qui se présente sous le nom d'emprunt de Tony, il parait que c'est le plus doué, il vit dans un hôtel près du lac: le Krishna cottage et est en contact régulier par skype avec des femmes occidentales à qui il fait croire qu'il les aime et qu'il spolie sans scrupules. Il a ouvert un internet café, sur le toît de cet hôtel, , avec l'argent escroqué aux dames qui sont tombées sous son charme). Alors, jeunes filles romantiques en manque d'amour, célibataire sensibles ou simplement fragiles émotionnellement ne vous laissez pas spolier !!! C'est un comportement qui est de plus en plus couru en Inde et encore peu connu. La prostitution masculine est en expansion et des cas d'arnaques amoureuses et d'escroqueries financières par des gigolos sont de plus en plus fréquents.

From FES, I’d like to spend a few days in: MEKNES CHEFCHAOUEN TETOUAN and then return to FES. I’m planning this trip in November. Thanks for your tips!

I just got back from an unforgettable road trip in Madagascar where I drove down the legendary RN7. It connects Tana (the capital) to Tulear. Since we were traveling as a group of girls, we decided to go with a guide. I’d never done an “organized” trip before, but I have to say we loved this first tailor-made travel experience. From the highlands of the Red Island down to the west coast, by the Mozambique Channel. Vast landscapes as far as the eye can see Human encounters Discovering ancestral artisanal know-how Sunsets over the ochre mountains Intense, precious moments with my friends We loved the mountains, visits to artisans, and the parties too ;-) We used local guides to show us specific spots (like Isalo National Park, where we were able to bivouac)

Hi there, My friend and I are traveling together between October and November 2025—no exact dates yet. We’d love to step away from the typical travel agency packages and are hoping to rent a car locally and stay with locals, living with them rather than in a vacation rental.

Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks in advance for your advice and tips! Warm regards to all
