Recently, someone asked me how I decide where to go when I’m planning a trip — especially when I’m traveling solo. It’s a great question, because choosing where to go isn’t just about inspiration for me. It’s about efficiency, awareness, and setting myself up to feel comfortable from the moment I arrive. I’ve learned that…
When I travel alone, I’m not constantly asking myself how to spend less. I’m asking myself where spending more actually supports me.

When I travel alone, I’m not trying to spend as little as possible. I’m trying to spend intentionally. Over time, I’ve learned that the most satisfying trips aren’t defined by how much I saved or how much I spent — they’re defined by where I chose to spend. When money supports ease, safety, and presence,…

When you’re new to traveling alone, choosing where to go can feel just as intimidating as the idea of going by yourself.

Traveling wisely didn’t come naturally to me — I learned it over time, through experience, reflection, and a few moments where I realized preparation matters more than confidence alone. For me, traveling wise isn’t about following rigid rules or assuming the worst. It’s about moving through the world with awareness, intention, and self-trust. It’s about…
Women Travel Wise exists because I know how complicated the idea of traveling alone as a woman can feel.
