Reasons Why Women Should Travel Together

Reasons Why Women Should Travel Together

There are many benefits for women traveling together. However, there are still many women who are hesitant to travel for various reasons. Starting from guilt (for going alone without children or a spouse), time, nervousness, to anxiety, everything is used as a reason not to book your dream trip, where you can meet new friends along the way. When a woman travels accompanied by several other women, the journey and stories that occur in one place will be very different. Whether it’s going on an involving adventure camel in Dubai, visiting Bahia Palace of Marocco, or hunting souvenirs in Japan, everything will feel different. Benefits of Women-Only Tours Traveling is not only fun but also empowering. Women deserve both in life. As Forbes said, 80% of all travel decisions are made by women. So you no longer need to postpone planning a fun women-only tour trip. The following are the benefits you can get from traveling together with other women. Free to Be Yourself Women who go on women-only trips admit that they can find a more relaxed atmosphere. Free from stress, free from work distractions. When traveling with other women, they don’t worry about makeup, what they eat, or how much they eat, or who sees them. Feel free to laugh as much as you like, even ask strange and stupid questions. The women admitted that they felt more heard when they were not accompanied by men. On this journey, women will free themselves from the inherent obligations of life, throwing off their caring or professional hats. This trip together will provide time for self-care and introspection. Friendship The main attraction for women traveling together is the opportunity to meet new friends. Most of us know that when a woman starts a family, she hardly has time to hang out with her old friends, or even make new ones. Women will share stories and experiences and compare points of view, providing the potential to connect with other women in an atmosphere rich in positive energy on a journey together. In fact, many female travelers say that friendships that start on one trip can last a long time. Comfort & Convenience Women who travel together also admit that the trip makes them easier and more comfortable. In women-only trips, women can easily get along with each other. Easy to connect, easy to communicate and discuss. They also admitted that making the desired plans also became easier. No stress, no need to worry about details like when traveling with family or partner. Community & Equity Women always express joy when exploring new destinations, cultures, and activities with like-minded women. They share a common understanding of the ‘difficulties’ or ‘problems’ faced by their gender while traveling. They discuss common interests and experiences with each other. The atmosphere on this trip will be very unique with dynamic energy because the women will experience “instant good relations” and will feel the power of community and the dynamics of working together as a team. Women-only travel groups offer the opportunity to meet women from all over the world, and you’ll get the chance to experience the unique culture of each of your travel companions. Solos are welcome Nowadays many women travel “solo” individually, so if you go on this “women only” trip, the main advantage you get is that you can immediately join the group of fellow travelers as a solo traveler. You don’t have to be awkward facing the male-female pair traveler situation that usually occurs when traveling in general, you don’t need to feel like a strange female solo traveler among couples. Solo female travelers say they enjoy meeting other solo female travelers, especially when doing so in a group compared to when traveling alone. That way, it will be easier for women to pair up as roommates so that travel costs become more affordable. Emotional support When women traveling together, they become bolder and more open to taking risks in adventure. Encouraging hugs from female travel companions will allow them to gain strength and confidence. Dare to get out of their comfort zone, and try to go beyond what they have previously considered to be their limits. On women-only trips, which include outdoor activity segments such as trekking, cycling, jet skiing, or diving, participants can try new things in a non-competitive environment. No need to worry about society’s expectations (especially men). A Safe Place Safety is an important consideration, especially for women traveling alone abroad. Traveling with a group is much safer than traveling alone. If you’re in an all-female travel group, you don’t need to worry about advances or sexist behavior from men on the trip. Apart from that, most transportation is also carried out in groups so that you are not alone if something undesirable happens on the road. You will have friends who support and strengthen each other. More fun Another reason why women should travel together is because it’s so much more fun! Women like to laugh. Women like to cook, women like food, and are not embarrassed to eat a lot when they are with female friends. Women also like to gather and tell stories. When they meet they will share things they have in common, about their respective cultures, and then absorb each other’s information. This is what makes traveling more fun because women love everything it has to offer and are attracted to adventurous trips. How to Plan Your Women-Only Tours Are you ready to plan your next trip? Before making your next travel plans here are some tips for you: Set a budget for your travel expenses. Start saving now or be diligent in looking for special offers on flights, accommodation, and activities. Choose a destination that is known to be safe and friendly for female tourists.
